Domestic Missions

Though Auburn may seem like a sheltered community, we know that there are people in need all around us. AUMC cares for our community and our region through several domestic mission projects, and we invite you to join us and get involved in showing Christ’s love to others in the most practical of ways.

Emergency Response Team

AUMC has formed a trained emergency response team who is ready to be activated immediately following a disaster. Training is available for anyone who desires to meet immediate needs following natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornados in our regions.

Red Cross Shelter

AUMC is designated as a local Red Cross Shelter during times of emergency. During such times, volunteers are needed to serve those seeking refuge.

We also participate in local work projects with Care Construction, Alabama Rural Ministries, and Habitat for Humanity, to assist our community with basic construction needs. Workdays for these ministries are posted in the weekly AUMC newsletter and are open to anyone desiring to serve our community.

Flood Bucket Ministry

With the recent flooding in our neighboring Georgia communities, AUMC sent several "flood buckets" full of supplies generally need to clean a home after water damage.  These buckets were donated by our members and much appreciated by the families who received them.  Though the official "Flood Bucket" campaign for this disaster is over, AUMC is now the housing facility for flood buckets for the eastern part of our church conference.  We are committed to keeping several dozen of these relief buckets on hand to be ready for future emergencies.
