Missions

 
Missions are the the very core of our existence as a church and help us to live our Mission which is to "Share the Love of Jesus Christ everyday."  Whether its helping people in our local community or assisting others in another corner of the globe, we at the Leola United Methodist Church find great joy in both lending a helping hand to others and sharing the gospel with them so that they can come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  The many missions which we are involved in are listed below.
