First Church missions
as well as many community,
national, and world agencies are financially and prayerfully supported
by this congregation. As a United
Methodist Church, we have "connectional" responsibilities to our
neighbors here in Lakeland as well as throughout the world.
We are also in a
unique position to have a relationship with many local agencies that not
only need our financial support, but the time and commitment of our
church family.
Below is the listing
