 Welcoming and Outreach Team

Our Mission is through witness to reach out to people, invite and welcome them; we help them prepare to make a commitment or renew their commitment to Jesus Christ.

Our goals:

  • Equip our church with tools to intentionally witness and invite
  • Create and promote witnessing opportunities at church and community events
  • Mentor New Members as they begin their faith journey
  • Work on promoting congregational growth

How do we do this?

  • New Membership Shepherding
    • This is mentoring we offer to New Members.
    • As for our guests, this team also makes a follow up. This is also one another thing that we would like more people to be able to do in the future.
  • New Member Class
    • This is an orientation we offer to those who desire to join the church. It is a three-session study around these themes:
      • What does it means to be a Christian?
      • What does it means to United Methodist?
      • What does it means to be a member of the West Des Moines UMC?
  • Awareness on witness and outreach
    • Educate the congregation on witness and outreach
    • Provide tools for better and effective witnessing
    • Provide witnessing opportunities at church and community events
