Faith Promise



We recently had an occasion to hear about our Faith Promise ministries and to pledge in  support of them through extra mile giving in 2015. We are very grateful to all who made this financial commitment and to those who have supported Faith Promise in 2014. If you missed the opportunity to pledge to Faith Promise and would like to share your Promise, please contact the church office and a commitment card will be made available to you. However, completing a pledge card never limits your giving to Faith Promise. At any time you may give by cash, check or online. 

Faith Promise is your way of financially supporting the church’s community and  outreach ministries and a response to God’s call to share in Christ’s mission of serving others. Your Faith Promise is in addition to your regular tithes and offerings and an amount you give in faith knowing God will provide it. 

Contributing financially is one very important way of supporting the church’s outreach   ministries. A second way is through hands-on serving in one of the ministry areas. Our Faith Promise ministries in which you may choose to serve are as follows:

Community Fall Festival Food Drive Ministry
God’s Will Breakfast God’s Workers
Health Ministries Homecroft Elementary Partnership
Interfaith Hospitality Network Jubilee Christmas
Loving Hearts Helping Hands Perry Township Religious Education
Prison Ministry Rest Area Ministry
Ronald McDonald House Sumner’s Garden
Upper Sand Mountain Alabama Mission Trip Vacation Bible School

For a brief explanation about each, please pick up a SERVE Ministries brochure from the Guests Services desk, the church office or contact sherry@sumc.org. We would love to share the exciting and wonderful news of how these ministries are impacting individuals and families in our community. And we would like you to have an opportunity to be part of Jesus’ command to serve and reach others in His name.

A Letter from Pastor Chris

Dear Friends,            I am excited about the many things that are happening at Southport UMC this month.   There are many things going on at Southport UMC as we continue in ministry to the Southside of Indianapolis, but I would like to highlight a few opportunities, as well as share some information about changes that are coming this month. First of all, because of storm damage we are getting a new roof. This work will begin after September 8 and will take around a week to complete (weather permitting). Secondly, we will begin signups for Journey Groups this month, and I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to grow in your faith through a small group. Finally, at the end of this month we have a great opportunity to share with our neighbors through the Community Fall Festival.   Over the last couple of months we have been learning in worship that we need to share our faith story, and we can only do this through building relationships. Community Fall Festival is an

ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

You may or may not know that in the past, Southport United Methodist Church has been able to offer a small scholarship to assist with college expenses.   The scholarship was made possible by some past members of SUMC:   Mary & Riley Lynch. We haven’t been able to offer the scholarship for a few years but are able to do so again. If you are interested or want more information, please contact Pastor Doug in the church office. Application deadline is July 15th, 2019.   A decision will be made at that time so there can be no applications accepted after that date.
