Sharing God’s Love
Our mission statement is “Going Beyond Our Walls to Build God’s Kingdom”. We strive to reach out into the community and share the Love of God by serving in ministry in the following ways:
- We invite the community to inquire about and perhaps join in one of the Study/Ministry groups that meet at the church (see the monthly calendar).
- Peralta Methodist Church hosts organizations from the Community; such as NMSU Extension Service, Scouts of America; Bosque Farms Library; Valencia County Chaplains Corp
- The community is invited to participate in the Music program at the Church — Adult Choir; Children’s Choir, Handbell choir. (more information on the Music page).
- Valencia Middle School, Valencia High School, Los Lunas Middle School and Los Lunas High students are welcome to participate in the AfterShock Youth Group which meets on Sundays at 6:00 pm. (see more info on the Youth page).
Volunteers also reach out to the Alternative Recovery Techniques (A.R.T.) program at the New Mexico Men’s Recovery Academy and New Path Ministries program at the New Mexico Women’s Recovery Academy. They travel to the recovery academies to offer several opportunities such as learning arts and crafts skills with a devotion and prayer time to the residents. (The residents of the recovery academies are serving part of a judicial sentence, and they spend six months at the academy learning how to overcome substance addictions).
The main goal of the recovery academy ministry is to bring the love of Jesus to the men and women there, through example, teaching, and time together. Additionally, the A.R.T.s and New Path programs seek to build confidence and self-esteem in the residents and provide the residents with the opportunity to learn new hobbies and skills that can enrich their lives. Through the Each One Teach One method of instruction, those residents with art skills or practice are encouraged to teach their peers.
AND…. the FOOD PANTRY MINISTRY – Shares God’s word and His love by distributing food boxes to anyone in need… on Mondays from 9:30 am to 12 noon. Residents living in Los Lunas School District area may receive a box twice a month.
Anyone living outside of the area may receive ONE emergency box, and will be referred to food pantries in their area of residence.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
