Growing Out to Serve and Share Christ with the World!
We "grow out" when we serve in our church and we love those outside our church. Some of the ways in which we Grow Out at KIUMC include supporting local, national and foreign missions; through evangelism; with our Caring Lay Ministry Team, Celebrate Recovery and GriefShare programs.

Missions Team History
Our Missions Team had a successful trip in September 2019 being the hands and feet of Jesus in Ocracoke Island, North Carolina. These men and women stayed there for several days to assist the community with clean up from Hurricane Dorian flood damage. Here are a few pictures from their trip.
Would you like to learn more about the ministry or volunteer? Please contact Elaine Cira at elainecira@gmail.com for more information.
