Commission on Local Outreach

The Commission on Local Outreach (COLO) supports Myers Park United Methodist Church in fulfilling its vision to mobilize all for servant ministry in a needful world.  We seek to make a difference in the lives of those in need in our community and in the hearts of our members by leading the church in Christian service.

Commission on Local Outreach Guiding Principles

        - To Build Relationships:
                 With God
                 With our community
                 With each other
        - To focus attention on the most pressing community needs
        - To be advocates for the disenfranchised 
        - To help church members become personally connected with those in need 
        - To maximize our impact by being focused, responsive, proactive, and discerning 

Through Stewardship, the Commission on Local Outreach disperses financial support to local agencies.  Volunteer needs, funding, and other kinds of support are reviewed regularly, with a focus on developing meaningful relationships with our partners in service:
