The mission
of the Coal City United Methodist Church
is to be a sanctuary where prayer, worship, acts of mercy,
and study of scripture empower persons to live
as disciples of Jesus Christ. Our Mission Statement
The
Coal City United Methodist Church is actively involved in the
mission field. From around the world to our back yard, the
church is actively helping make the lives of other children of
God better. The following is just a small list of the
number of projects that our church is involved in.
