The goal of the West Park United Methodist Church Missions Committee is to spread the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and assist others in doing so.

Mission Trip To Accuna, Mexico

In February of 2005, West Park United Methodist went on a missions trip to help the New Fountain of Life Ministry in Accuna, Mexico.  They did a lot of work, including the installation of a heating system, and also had a lot of fellowship.

You are invited to view a slide presentation showing our team in Mexico.
