Reaching Out to Others...

Changing lives by serving others... Here are some of the ways we serve others at First Glendale.

Brad Riner Fund
The Brad Riner Fund was begun  as a memorial to one of the church's teens following his tragic death. "Brad Bags" filled with a single serving of food and a drink provide the people of First Glendale a way to serve the needy of our community. The fund also provides utility assistance and makes referrals to other social service agencies.  Thousands of lives are touched each year by this ongoing ministry of the church.

Sister Church in Fiji
On the front of a church on the island of Fiji, 6,000 miles from Glendale, you will find a cross made by a member of First Glendale. Since 1993 this church has been our "sister church" and over the years the church has sent work teams, hymnals, supplies, and built long lasting relationships with the people of Fiji.

We Are A Global Church
As United Methodists we join hands with people and churches around the world to serve others in Christ's name. This means when a Florida Community is ravaged by a tornado, you are there. When a devastating hurricane strikes New Orleans, you are there. When a young person in Africa needs a college education, you are there. When a Tsunami sweeps entire villages away on the pacific rim, you are there.
