U.M. ARMY

U.M. ARMY stands for United Methodist Action Reach-Out Mission by Youth. U.M. ARMY’s mission is “to provide Christ-centered quality youth work camps that serve people in need and promote spiritual growth and leadership development in youth.”

St. Peter’s students (who have completed at least one year of high school) and adults participate in U.M. ARMY for a week each summer, providing home repairs and maintenance for those who are unable to help themselves. U.M. ARMY is an opportunity for you to experience Christian growth through mission, worship and fellowship.  For more information contact the church office at 281.492.8031. You can also visit the main U.M. ARMY Website.  The cost is $175. Scholarships are available.

Rainbow Camp

Rainbow Camp is a mission project for 7th and 8th grade students, as well as the 9th - 12th grade students who serve as leaders. It is a week-long VacationBibleSchool program for the children in an apartment complex in south Houston. School supplies and Christmas gifts also are collected for these children each year. Contact Jason Trice, Student Ministries Director, at 281.492.8031 for information. 

Habitat for Humanity

A nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization, Habitat for Humanity works in partnership with people in need to build quality, affordable housing. The houses are sold to those in need at no profit with no interest charged. Volunteers provide most of the labor, and individuals and organizations provide money and materials to build Habitat houses. Partner families must provide 300 hours of "sweat equity" labor to help build their homes. Their mortgage payments also help to build additional houses. Work is being done by individual church members throughout the year and group participation is planned accordingly. For more information on Habitat for Humanity, click here.

Disaster Recovery

Teams of volunteers are sent out to do cleanup and rebuilding work for victims of hurricanes that have affected the GulfCoast area. St. Peter’s has been active in the past with Hurricane Rita recovery in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area and more recently with Hurricane Ike recovery in Galveston/Kemah. We work through Disaster Recovery, an organization of the Texas Annual Conference.  Day trips (and possibly weekend camps) can be scheduled throughout the year. Contact the church office at 281.492.8031 for more information.
    

United Methodist Women

United Methodist Women work to serve women and children in need, participating and helping to fund the local, national and global missions of the church with our love, gifts and prayers. We support each other with open hearts. We encourage growth as individuals through shared reading, study and prayers. Our goals are mission, fellowship and learning. We meet twice a month.
 

We sponsor the Pick-a-dilly Craft Fair, which benefits missions; do a hands-on project for mission, such as baby layettes, birthing kits or health kits to be used overseas; and share mission studies with the women of Katy First United Methodist Church and Pattison United Methodist Church.
 

International Missions

St. Peter’s is involved with a United Methodist church and school in Hempstead, Jamaica, with monetary support plus yearly trips by our high school seniors to do work and bring supplies during spring break. Summer trips also have been scheduled.

Many individuals decide to take part in United Methodist Church-sponsored international mission trips to the Caribbean or Africa throughout the year. St. Peter’s will assist them with financial aid and material donations as well as our prayers and support.
