Justice and Mission Matters (JAMM)

There is no doubt that justice and mission matter to the First United Methodist Church of Eugene, and this team is all about advancing that work.  We seek Justice, especially for those groups or causes that are downtrodden, or unable to successfully fend for themselves. Further, we identify mission opportunities that can direct the energy of the full congregation toward finding ways to assist those in need. We see social inequities every day on the streets of Eugene with the treatment of the homeless and the hungry.  It is our mission as given by Jesus Christ to reach out to and connect with oppressed people wherever they are.

Our Vision

To be the eyes and ears of our community, sensing places of pain, poverty, oppression, violence, and ecological ruin and their root causes. To create acts of mission, advocacy, and community transformation from what we see and hear and engage our people in these acts. To be in constant reflection on our experiences in order to discern what God calls us to do next.

SERVING SUNDAYS

We offer 4-5 Sundays per year where we have a service project after worship. We also have several groups that go out to volunteer in our community through organizations that need our hands, help, and listening ears!

United Women of Faith

Our women’s group helps organizations that support women and youth all over the world and right here in our community. They learn about social justice issues that are important to our society today.
