YSP
MUMC Youth have been giving time over the summer to serve others through disaster and poverty relief for over 40 years.
Our annual Youth Service Project (YSP) is a week of service to homeowners who need repairs done on their homes. With guidance from experienced adults, you will be amazed at what you can do!!! We make sure to have some awesome adventures along the way so we can experience the area we are traveling to. It’s a week unlike any other, and it’s a fun way to give back just a little.
Lahaina Methodist Church
In response to the devastation in Maui, MUMC came together to support the Lahaina Methodist Church which was burned down in the fires. Click here to read their thank you letter.
