Missions

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to love God and love others. Throughout Union County, Weddington Church partners with local agencies to address the needs of our community. From food insecurity, homelessness and crisis support to caring for foster children, seniors, and our military, we seek to walk alongside our neighbors through meaningful relationships. We invite you to join us in being the light in the darkness, serving at a campus event, or directly alongside one of our partner agencies.

We primarily are in ministry in three countries outside of the United States – Kenya, Costa Rica & Bulgaria. Support for international missions varies from pastoral care, church planting, caring for and educating vulnerable children, construction projects, leadership training and so much more. Weddington Methodist Church continues to be the hands and feet of Jesus around the world through the giving of our time, talents, and offerings.

As a church, we are committed to supporting recovery efforts in Western North Carolina following the disaster of Hurricane Helene. During the recovery phase, we continue to send teams and resources to serve those impacted by this devastating storm in our state. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus as we continue to humbly serve in love.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
—Psalm 46:1
