Due to potentially damaging weather this afternoon and evening, the children’s musical and pre-show events in the Leawood Sanctuary have been cancelled and will be rescheduled.
Scheduled programming has resumed for Thursday, February 13 at all Resurrection locations.
This summer, our annual School Makeover is taking on a new shape—and a new address. Rather than working inside a school building, we’re heading into the Argentine neighborhood to serve alongside The Hub, a remarkable community gathering place built around knowing your neighbors and working together toward real, lasting change. Through a community market, clothing pantry, community garden, and a new commercial kitchen, The Hub is cultivating economic opportunity and shared resources for the people who call this neighborhood home—including the more than 350 Methodists from many different cultural backgrounds who gather there for worship each week.
Our role this June 3–10 is to help refresh and strengthen the physical space that makes all of this possible.
If you’re looking for a way to show up for Kansas City this summer, this is a meaningful place to start.
Join us in honoring the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during our MLK Weekend Serve events on Saturday, January 17, and Monday, January 19. In the spirit of Dr. King’s powerful vision of social justice, equality, and community empowerment, we invite you to roll up your sleeves and make a meaningful difference in our community through various service projects across multiple locations.
Our events are designed as easy, low-commitment ways to make a positive impact on our neighbors in the metro area. Try something new or enjoy a familiar favorite. Either way, you’ll experience the powerful impact of helping others by becoming God’s hands and feet right here in Kansas City.
Serve by using your gifts and talents both inside and outside the walls of the church. Each of us is given spiritual gifts and natural abilities that we can use to serve others and glorify God. The church is the Body of Christ, and each of us is a member of the Body. We are all invited to carry on Christ’s mission in the world, to meet the needs of the people. Whether you are gifted in teaching, helping, encouraging or something else, God is counting on you to touch the lives of others as you serve God.
One night of restocking vans and serving hot meals with Uplift turned into a powerful reminder that dignity matters as much as dinner. Here’s what it’s like to ride along with an organization feeding 400+ unhoused neighbors — and their pets — three times a week.
What happens when hundreds of volunteers show up with tools, paintbrushes, and servant hearts? The Hub gets a transformation — and so does our community.
“Remember me? I was at Bright Futures!” Those words captured the heart of a Pathways graduation celebration honoring 22 young adults aging out of foster care. The day was a reminder that while resources and services matter, lasting transformation happens through relationships, encouragement, and people who continue showing up long after an event ends.
If I were asked to come up with one word to describe Mission Ministries in 2023, it would have to be growth! Fueled by fantastic January weather, the year began with a record-breaking MLK Serve weekend marked by 2,000 individuals honoring Dr. King’s legacy by participating in community service projects across the metro. In February, you followed that up with a robust response to our 2023 domestic and global serve trips invitation and a Sack Hunger drive that yielded the equivalent of 118,512 pounds of food between monetary and physical donations.
