Missions
FUMC Mission efforts are guided by the desire of First United Methodist Church in Bartlesville to take the Gospel to people in Oklahoma, the United States, and around the world by sharing God's love in special ways. We work together with missions in Bartlesville such as Concern and Mutual. We work with Circle of Care in Oklahoma and we send mission teams to work in the United States and around the world.
The FUMC has established covenantal and connectional relationships with missionaries and supports Christian education efforts and seminary students. This web page will give you information about the ongoing mission work of the First United Methodist Church in Bartlesville. Please attend a mission committee meeting which is the 3rd Sunday of each month.
