How to Serve
“Do all the good you can, in all the places you can, to all the people you can.”
– John Wesley, founder of Methodism
Joshua Methodist believes God has uniquely gifted every person with a purpose and role for serving others. We offer ample opportunities for everyone to find a place to serve through our various ministry partnerships.
