Missions Ministry
The Missions team facilitates opportunities to serve others and provides avenues for new and exciting outreach to all of Gods children locally, nationally, and internationally. Spreading the Gospel through demonstrated Love of God through Jesus Christ and loving our neighbor, we support missions such as the Community Lifeline Center, the Samaritan Inn, McKinney Community Food Pantry, assisting members of our church family with work projects around their homes, the Heifer project, blood drives, and building homes in Mexico. We joyfully reach out with Christ’s love to our neighbors and serve them in His name.
Parish Nurses Ministry
What is Faith Community Nursing (also called Parish Nursing)?
It is the intentional integration of the practice of faith with the practice of nursing so that people can achieve wholeness in, with, and through the community of faith in which faith community nurses serve.
More than just nurses serving, there are people who want to serve in a HEALTH MINISTRY. So what is a Health Ministry? As stated by Moltmann, “it is often impossible to heal the sick without healing their relationships, the circumstances in which they live, and the structures of the social system in which they belong.” There are four major functions of a health ministry and they are: Healing, Sustaining, Guiding & Reconciling

Prison Ministry
Several years ago the St Dymas Prison Ministry, a Lutheran organization serving South Dakota’s prison began a program to provide fudge and Christmas cards to all prisoners on Christmas Eve. The result was a massive undertaking and they enlisted the support of church congregations in Sioux Falls and throughout the state to provide the 2,900 bags for the inmates. They used a special fudge recipe that does not dry out and remains flexible and soft indefinitely.
Today, the congregation at Wesley United Methodist Church along with Temple Baptist Church and other Christian churches in Collin County, hopes to duplicate this service at the Collin County Detention Center. Presently there are about 1,100 prisoners in this facility.
Rev Skip Pilgrim, Pastor of Temple Baptist Church serves as the Inmate Programs Coordinator for Collin County. Pilgrim has assured the program that he will help in any way possible to make sure this program is successful.

Adopt A School
Through 3e McKinney, the faith-based organization whose mission is to Engage, Equip and Empower, Wesley UMC has adopted Slaughter elementary School
We are sharing the love of Christ as we feed, clothe and mentor those attending Slaughter who are in need; as we support the teachers and administrative staff; and as we help to enrich the children educational experience by encouraging them and letting them know that they are important.
This journey is just beginning so, stay tuned in and keep looking for what’s happening and where you can serve. 3eMckinney
