Mission Focus

Missions:

We believe that as followers of God, we are called to Love God and Love Others. 

One of the greatest ways that we love others

is by acting as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in the world. 

We strive to grow in love of God and neighbor, 

to reach new people, 

and heal a broken world. 













 



Our local missions are here for the sole purpose of helping our community. We take pride in La Crescent, MN and we want everyone here to be safe, full, and warm. Our main local missions focus on the children and youth of La Crescent, but we also have funds in place to help others. We have an Emergency Fund for locals that need immediate help. 


  • Back To School Event

    Every fall as kids in our community get ready to go back to school, we realize that there are many who need adequate supplies for school. We host a free event where families make an appointment to come, and shop (at no cost to them) for school supplies and clothes so that they may have a successful start to the school year.



  • Clothes Closet

    The Clothes Closet its a community mission based out of La Crescent UMC. This mission’s goal to help provide clothes to struggling families in the area. The Clothes Closet is available by appointment, and it is also open during our Annual Back to School Event every August. We have all sorts of clothing, sizes, and extras. If you are in need of clothes for your children please contact the church office to set up an appointment. Carole Plenge works hard to organize donations and appointments, she can answer any questions you have!

  • The Lunch Wagon

    The Lunch Wagon is a wonderful community mission. The goal is to help feed children during the summer months. The Lunch Wagon provides sack lunches to various location in La Crescent, and Hokah, MN. Every Tuesday and Thursday volunteers go sit and hand out lunches and milk to children from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Every child is welcome to lunch. This program runs from June to August. You can donate your time or your funds to help this wonderful mission feed the children!

  • Local Missions in Action

    While taking the time to serve others in the wider community, we also help to serve the needs of people within our community. We spend time doing local clean-up and odd jobs for our neighbors, serve the hungry, work with the Local Food Shelf and visit with our seniors. There are so many ways for us to build relationships with others, please join us. 



Here at La Crescent United Methodist Church, we want to help as many people in this world as we can. Our national and international missions help us do just that! You can get involved in many ways.  Click on each mission to learn more!
