Missions

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19

God calls each of us to participate in the work of discipling the nations. Through our prayers, our giving, and our going, we join God in the work God is doing in our community and around the world. Below are some of the missionaries and organizations that First UMC, Collingswood is partnering with to disciple the nations.
