Sometimes it is easiest to experience God's presence when you leave behind the distractions of your everyday life and reach out to others.
Whether it be around the corner or across the globe, it is our mission to share the love and message of Christ to others in need. Boston Avenue supports and provides many different opportunities to serve others, as we in turn grow in spirit and faith. These opportunities include serving on mission trips through our United Methodist Volunteer-In Mission programs, offering a helping hand to our direct neighbors through local missions and special projects or by serving on one of our committees that focus on mission work.
No matter what your talents are, you can be of service to others. When you are called to serve in any of our missions you will be blessed in ways you can't even imagine as you "love others as yourself".
