AHUMC Mission Opportunities

  • Five & Two Food Truck

    Five & Two Food Truck partners with community agencies to serve food to some of our most vulnerable neighbors.  This ministry feeds not only the physical needs of the hungry in our community, but also provides a vehicle to share the love of God in tangible ways for those who hunger spiritually. The Five & Two Food Truck provides meals for Presbyterian Night Shelters Women’s and Children’s Center and the Patriot House.  We have also provided meals for SafeHaven, Samaritan House, Como Community events and more.  All at no cost to the agency or the residents.  The Five & Two Food Trucks is also available for events on a donation basis which helps support the ongoing work of this ministry.   

  • Kids Hope

    Each school year, adults from our congregation serve as mentors and prayer partners with students at North Hi Mount elementary in our neighborhood. Spending one hour a day in one-on-one time with the students, adults build relationships and serve as caring adults in the students' lives. To volunteer to serve with Kids Hope, please contact Linda Allen.

  • Casas Por Cristo International Mission Trip

    In the spring, adults from AHUMC partner with others (past partners include the TCU Wesley Foundation and University UMC) to travel to Acuna, Mexico to build a house for a family. Beginning only with the foundation, team members construct a home and then joyfully participate in a special worship service at the end of the week to present a Bible and a set of keys to the family who will inhabit this new home. For more information, please contact Christine Coleman.

  • Other Mission Opportunities

    AHUMC members participate in monthly mission collections in the Atrium (i.e. socks & blankets for the homeless, school uniform drive, Thanksgiving baskets, etc.) We also have an adopt-a-school relationship with North Hi Mount Elementary & Jo Kelly School, a school for profoundly handicapped children and youth. We have participated in meal assembly through Feeding Children Everywhere, and offer a Christmas Store in December where families can shop for gifts for their children.
