Mount Bethel UMC Missions

Mt Bethel UMC is active in several ongoing ministries.  We want to keep you informed—and involved! If you are interested in volunteering with any of our ministries, please submit a contact form and we will reach back out to you!

Ongoing Ministries:

Backpack ministry – We pack and deliver 20 bags of food to students at two nearby schools each week. These children might otherwise might go hungry over the weekend.

Food pantry-We open our food pantry to the community at 9:30am on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month. See Fish and Loaves food pantry here. Please also see our Facebook page here.

If you are interested in finding additional assistance with food insecurity, please look on our Fish and Loaves page for a list of food pantries in this area and a schedule of meeting times for food pantries in Durham county.

Open Table: ( to be participating soon) Each week, on a rotating schedule, volunteers from local churches bring a hot home-cooked meal to the roadside near where homeless people live.  To share a good meal and friendly conversation, Open Table gathers each Monday at Trinity UMC in Durham.  Mt. Bethel helps to cook the meals once every quarter and helps with some of the needs such as supplying sleeping bags, tents, heaters, warm clothes, companionship and money.
