JUMC supports mission projects on a local, state, and global level. A few that we take a special interest in include:
UMCOR flood buckets, clean up kits, and hygiene kits. These are used for people in need after disasters including floods, tornados, fires, etc.
We support our local Ministerial Alliance and the missions they support including Thanksgiving Baskets that are prepared for local families in need.
Each year we support our local Angel Tree ministries and nursing homes through our NOEL Project. We have been able to fulfill the wishes of several angels each year as well as providing blankets for our nursing homes.
Jefferson strongly supports Disaster Relief Missions. Jefferson is located in an area where we have been on the receiving end of disaster relief missions due to flooding so it holds a special place in our hearts.
Jefferson United Methodist Church has a monthly communion special schedule. Below each special is highlighted.

Camp and Retreat Ministries provide experiences that shape and expand the Christian commitment of persons of all ages, empowering them to live the truth of the gospel in their daily lives. These ministries create environments that are conducive to listening and responding to God.
The unique characteristics of these environments include:
intentional times and places set apart from daily life, under the guidance of servant leaders,
experiential models of learning in which the whole person encounters the word of God,
and a community of faith that challenges, nurtures, and celebrates new understandings of God’s action in their lives.
Out of these experiences, people return with the heightened awareness of God’s redeeming grace in Jesus Christ, and are able to be more responsible disciples in God’s world. They enter into local church communities inspired, renewed and dedicated to faithful service. To learn more about Oklahoma Conference Church Camps visit: https://www.umcrm.comp
