"To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world"
With this mission in our hearts, we partner with many local groups including: Love, Inc, Benzie Area Christian Neighbors (BACN), Habitat for Humanity of Benzie County, Solid Rock of Benzie County (Youth Project), Christmas Giving Tree, Benzie Home Health and the Michigan Blood Bank.

The Missions Outreach program at Frankfort & Elberta United Methodist Churches embodies a steadfast commitment to serving their community and beyond. Through an array of initiatives, they actively engage in various acts of compassion, support, and service, extending a helping hand to those in need. Whether through local outreach efforts addressing hunger, homelessness, or providing support to marginalized groups, or by participating in broader global missions focused on humanitarian aid, education, or sustainable development, these churches stand as beacons of hope and generosity.
Their missions outreach is deeply rooted in the core values of empathy, solidarity, and a shared belief in making a tangible difference in the lives of others, both near and far, reflecting the essence of their faith in action.
