Missions

First United Methodist Church, then known as St. Petersburg Methodist Episcopal Church South, was founded in 1889 and early records are incomplete. They do show, however, that this church has long been active in missions and community outreach. There are records of a Women’s Missionary Society being organized in 1896, and a church conference book entry dated May 10, 1903, stated that “Poor are being looked after.”

Our focus on missions continues today. To learn more about the activities we support, click on the links below.
