Ministries
Missions
IOP Ilula Orphan Program has been a nongovernmental outreach to the Ilula area in Tanzania for over 20 years. They have 27 outreach programs which employ over 100 people from the area. They house 39 orphan girls but have over 500 students in foster programs.
Our church has partnered with this organization to raise money for their garden and agriculture. We also sponsor two Tanzanian students as they pursue higher education.
Music Ministry
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.(Colossians 3:16)” The music ministry at Portage United Methodist Church is as varied as our church. Music plays a vital element in worship and the life of our church. There are many opportunities for people to share their gifts and talents musically.
Pastoral Counseling
Pastoral Counseling makes itself unique and different from other kinds of counseling/therapy in that it is a triadic conversation among a church member, her pastor, and their God. If you need tangible hearing ears along with God's attention to you, reach out to Pastor KwangYu. Confidentiality in pastoral counseling is second to none.
