The Missions Team at First Galax United Methodist Church works to lead our congregation in serving others through our support throughout the year for local, national, and international needs. We have a heart for meeting those needs, whether it is for babies and children, for struggling families, for victims of disasters, for the homeless or imprisoned, or for those who need spiritual guidance through God’s Word. We seek to share the blessings and grace of Jesus Christ with those around us, where we become his hands and feet, and where God receives the glory.
