Welcome!
Everyone is invited to take part in the missions of Kirkwood United Methodist Church. You can drop off mission collection items at the Connection Center on Sunday mornings or at the Church Office Monday - Thursday, 9 am - 3 pm.
What We Do
Kirkwood United Methodist Church's primary mission is LifeBridge, a non-profit organization begun at KUMC that helps to transform lives through resources and relationships. LifeBridge partners with individuals to help them set goals and provide the resources and training necessary to achieve these goals while walking alongside them each step of the way. There is a weekly market for participants who have registered for the Lifebridge program and frequent training classes that they can enroll in to learn financial skills.

We accept donations of unexpired food items, personal care, and cleaning supplies.
