Reaching out to our community and world are important to us.  We believe that the natural expression of our faith is through the love of our neighbor.  There are many opportunities to get involved in mission at NWHills UMC.  

Texas Wildfire Relief

This September sixteen Northwest Hills members received Early Response training through the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM) program.  This training enables us to offer on the ground relief to survivors of the recent Texas wildfires.  In early October we spent six days on site helping to sift and clear debris.  We have also sent teams to prepare food for the community and volunteers at First Bastrop UMC.  We plan to continue our involvement in the relief effort as opportunities arise.  This Christmas Eve we will have a ‘Christmas Miracle Offering’ specifically for Texas wildfire relief.  

Comfort House

We support Comfort House in the Montopolis Area of Austin with donations of food, clothes and school supplies, and any other items needed.  Founder, Ms. Florence, welcomes volunteers to help in a variety of ways.  Find out more about this great ministry by visiting www.florencescomforthouse.org.  

Homeless Breakfast

For years, NWHills UMC has contributed funding to the Homeless Breakfast located at First UMC downtown. Volunteers are needed to prepare and serve food on any Tuesday or Thursday morning, between 5:00-7:30 a.m.  The fourth Tuesday of each month is the specific day funded by this congregation.  

House of Hope, Nicaragua

House of Hope provides a way out of the sex trade to women and young girls who genuinely want to be changed by the power of Christ.  They provide housing, food, Christian education and job training.  Last year, NWHills purchased a new swing set.  Funds help support not only the women, but their children as well.
