Worldwide Outreach

 

St. Matthew’s is living out our call to service not only at the local level, but around the United States and the world. Through Mission Central Hub, our church helps provide humanitarian supplies locally, nationally and internationally. Internationally, we are in partnership with groups on the ground in Liberia and Guatemala. We are committed to long-term, year-round support for our local partners. Occasionally, we take a mission trip to our partners. Additionally, we support Global Ministries programs such as missionaries, advance projects and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). For further information on Worldwide Outreach, email worldwideoutreach@stmatthews-bowie.org.
