Members in Ministry

As the refrain of a familiar hymn goes "A church is not a building...A church is the people." While as true today as it was when first written, it is just as true that physical tools such as a church can be instrumental in building new ministries and making new disciples for Jesus Christ. A necessary facility to grow and expand the teachings of Jesus Christ and the will of God. Amen.

Minister: a person serving as an agent for another by carrying out specified orders or functions.

Ministry: the act of serving; an instrumentality.

As agents of Christ the members of the Perryville United Methodist Church are involved in a number of ministries. If you would like to become involved in one of these ministries please contact us. There is always room for those that love God to do his work.
