Campus Ministry
Student and young adults
Students
Our Student Ministry offers many opportunities to develop their relationships with God. Ranging from Sunday School classes to small groups.
Young Adults
Our Young Adults Ministry is just starting up with opportunities to come together to continue with deepening their relationship with God.
“Sew Loved – Crossgates UMC” is a ministry providing bright, colorful aprons. These aprons are being donated to the "Red Beans & Rice" Ministry. Rice & Beans Ministries seeks to build relationships, support families and communities, and care for those in need in Costa Rica.
You do not have to sew to be a part of our group! We need people to iron, fold, package, turn pillowcases, and sew. Come give it a try. You may just find your calling. If interested, call Betty Grant at 601-260-8407.
Backpack Buddies
Is a dedicated group to providing food and meals to students in the city over the weekends. They pack food bags on Wednesdays and deliver to the schools Thursdays or Fridays for the students to take home over the weekends. If you would like to be a part or help, please contact the church office.
GRAND JAMS MINISTRY
This ministry is ran by Bill Barnett who makes homemade jams & jellies throughout the year. The pint size jars are sold and 100% of the proceeds go to the Methodist Senior Services (MSS) . The “Sunday Fund” established to help elderly residents living in one of MSS’s 12 senior communities to stay in their home should their personal financial resources be depleted.
Shower Power Ministry
Shower Power is more than a shower. We want to bring hospitality to the streets by delivering hygiene services to people experiencing homelessness. It's about taking time to show people that you care and restoring dignity by providing resources needed for self-care.
The homeless face many challenges, one being the difficulty in getting access to a shower. Even if they can get to a shelter, the shelter may not have a shower available.
Teresa Renkenberger - Shower Power Founder
Rice & Beans Mission
