The work of mission in virtually any context involves relationships-- interactions in the name of Jesus Christ between and among persons and organizations. We at Oranve UMC reach out in the name of Jesus Christ to help and serve everyone
Local Missions
Neighbor to Neighbor
N2N is a weekly and bi-weekly outreach ministry to our local neighbors to the south. This is an exciting ministry where "teams" of Orange people go to door to door visitation offering assistance and friendship. Join us on Sunday afternoons at 2pm or email Lee at N2N.
Orange Prison Ministry
Through the leadership of Marc and Terry Law, we share in worship each month at Orange Correctional Center, and help in the financial support of Chaplain Ken Barker, whose position at the Alamance-Orange Prison Ministry depends on local church support.
IFC / Project Homestart
We continue to support the local outreach of the Interfaith Council to the homeless in our community. IFC celebrated their 40th year of service in Chapel Hill-Carrboro in 2003, still with many challenges. Our congregation continues to participate in crop walk, serving meals at the IFC shelter, and serving meals and helping families in resettlement through the Project Homestart program addressing the needs of homeless women and children.
Adopt-A-Highway
John Landreth is the point person for our cleanup effort of a section of Homestead Road, carried out several times each year.
Foreign Missions
Orange continues to participate in and support the following overseas missions as part of our outreach to fellow Christians and to those in need of Christ's redeeming love throughout the world.
