At Newport Center United Methodist Church, our mission is to connect people with Jesus, each other, and the world. Now more than ever, it is critical that we live this mission. One way in which we would like to do that is by offering resources to those in need for free or for a limited fee, and/or to provide direction as to where help may be available.
