Outreach at Walnut Springs United Methodist Church
At Walnut Springs UMC, we believe that our faith is best expressed through action. Our commitment to "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors" extends far beyond our sanctuary walls. As a core part of our mission, we practice a Monthly Tithe of Outreach, dedicating approximately 10% of our total monthly offerings to support vital causes in Seguin, across Texas, and around the world.
Through the generosity of our congregation, we are able to provide consistent, tangible support to those in need.
