Missions and Outreach

Outreach to our local and global communities is at the heart of what we do and who we are at SUMC. Whether through ongoing projects supported by weekly efforts or through once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to step out of our comfort zones and be the hands and feet of Christ, we think outreach is a vital sign of following Jesus.


There are so many ways you can take a risk with us and see your own life transformed through caring for the least of these in our village and our world. Scroll down to see how you can make a difference today. If you have questions about how to help, contact our Outreach Director, Rolly Correa at rcorrea@saladoumc.org.

Ongoing Projects

Family Promise

We host homeless families from Bell County for dinner, a place to sleep, and transportation to a local facility the following morning. Salado UMC's next week to host families will be in September 2019. Contact Rolly Correa to volunteer to help with meals, staying overnight, or providing transportation.


Texas Ramp Project

Each Thursday evening at 6 pm, several of us meet to help construct wheelchair ramps to be installed at the homes of those in need throughout our state.


Food Pantry

Donations of dry and canned foods can be made in the atrium as you walk into the Worship Center. From 1-3 pm on the third Wednesday of each month, we help stock the pantry as well.


Coats for Kids

Help us see that children in our community who need warm coats have access to them by donating to this vital project. Although coats are purchased during the fall, donations may be made at any time.
