Outreach
Women in Faith at Southside Community Center
Mission Outreach
Wimberley UMC participates in a variety of missions, including Crisis Bread Basket, Southside Community Center in San Marcos, Hays County Homeless Coalition, Mission: Border Hope, and Barnabas Connection.
We use altar rail offerings on communion Sundays to support various outreach programs of the United Methodist Church and beyond, such as the Hays-Caldwell Women's Shelter.
We are grateful for the enthusiastic and generous support that we have experienced from our own congregation as we continue to seek opportunities to serve others in our community, our country, and in the world outside our borders.

Best Buds
Wimberley Best Bud is a mentor program for All Wimberley Kids. We have been serving the community since 2016 by providing volunteer mentors to meet with individual children on the WISD campuses for 30 mins each week. This gift of devoted time to one or more children helps improve a child’s confidence and outlook. We believe what best-selling author and motivational speaker Josh Shipp has stated, “every child is one caring adult away from being a success story.”
Volunteers Needed. For more information, contact wimberleyfamilies@wimberleyumc.org.
Praise and Worship Team
The praise team and our traditional choir prepare. perform, and lead us in a blended service with praise music and anthems for our Sunday service.
​
Special Music Programs: Several times each year, WUMC produces special music services, like Christmas or Easter Cantatas or music Sundays in place of the regular worship service.
Green Team
The Bishops of the United Methodist Church announced at General Conference in April 2024 that, "The planet is in peril." With that announcement and their further urging of each church to establish a Green Team for the care of the earth, The Green Team at Wimberley United Methodist Church was created.
We believe that we are called to practice responsible stewardship and to live in right relationship with the Creator and the whole of God's creation. Through occasional projects, educational opportunities, and worship, we seek to raise awareness about the fragility of our planet and to put our land in harmony with God's intention, keeping in mind that our actions have an impact on our neighbors.
We are project-driven, but when necessary, we meet on the third Sunday of the month for planning purposes.
If you are interested in becoming a part of our Green Team, please contact Sandy Londa or Janyce Sisson.
Prayer Ministry​
The congregation offers prayer shawls to any one who is ill, facing crisis, or celebrating an event in their lives. The shawls are knitted by congregation members and every stitch is sewn in prayer. The shawls are blessed during worship. Requests for shawls can be given by calling the church office at 512-847-3109 or by contacting our Prayer Team.
WUMC also has an online prayer ministry. If you have a prayer request and would like others to join you in prayers of concern or celebration please contact our Prayer Team.
