Making a difference for jesus christ in our world

Arlington Heights United Methodist Church has a heart for missions in our community and our world. 


While the way we serve has changed, we continue to engage with our neighbors while "sheltering in place" is in effect:

  • Delivering food to families in our neighborhood who have reached out to the FWISD for assistance
  • Donating 608 pounds of kid-friendly food to the Tarrant Area Food Bank
  • Feeding staff at the emergency shelter at the Fort Worth Convention Center
  • Providing one dinner a week for residents at the Women & Children's building and Patriot House at the Presbyterian Night Shelter
  • Hosting a Tarrant Area Food Bank Mobile Food Pantry


Interested in serving? Please join our Neighborhood Response Team so we will know to contact you as needs arise. Thank you!


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.   If you would like to be notified of volunteer opportunities by email, click here.
