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.   

  • Student Missions

    Each summer, youth and adults from AHUMC participate in a week-long mission trip. Additionally, throughout the year, youth engage with our neighbors at the Presbyterian Night Shelter, Project Transformation, and other community organizations. For more information, please contact Meagan Schwarz, Director of Student Ministries.

  • United Women In Faith

    AHUMC UWF members meet regularly to engage in acts of mission. They also participate in a book club and fundraising for mission projects.
