"Go Therefore and Make Disciples of All Nations"
-Matthew 28:18-20
July Mission of the Month
The Lord's Lighthouse
On behalf of all the families who come to us seeking food, hope, and prayer, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for selecting The Lord’s Lighthouse Ministry as your Mission of the Month.
The Lord’s Lighthouse Ministry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the Wimauma community. Every week, we witness the strength and resilience of our neighbors. Many families walk to our food pantry because they cannot afford transportation. Some mothers make the journey carrying young children in their arms or on their backs, trusting that there will be enough food to help sustain their families.
Each Thursday, our ministry provides food assistance to the local community. In May, we served 450 households with approximately 1,500 individuals. These are not just numbers, they represent hardworking families, seniors living on fixed incomes, and individuals facing unexpected hardships who struggle to keep pace with the rising cost of living.
Your generosity does far more than provide meals. It offers encouragement, restores dignity, and reminds our neighbors that they are not alone. Through your support, families receive not only food for their tables but also hope for tomorrow.
Thank you for partnering with The Lord’s Lighthouse Ministry in our mission to serve our community with compassion, dignity, and love. Your kindness enables us to continue sharing God’s love in a tangible and meaningful way, bringing hope to those who need it most.
Together, we are making a difference—one family, one meal, and one act of kindness at a time. We invite you to join us in this journey of compassion and service. Whether through donations, volunteer work, or spreading the word about our mission, every effort contributes to a brighter future for those we serve. Let us continue to stand together in faith and unity, bringing light to the lives of our neighbors and strengthening the bonds within our community. Your ongoing support is a beacon of hope, illuminating the path toward a better tomorrow for everyone. Thank you for being an integral part of The Lord’s Lighthouse Ministry family.
Our Mission is to extend God’s Light, that all may know the love of Jesus and generously share it with the world.
The Light changes everything.
Our Vision: We are called to shine hope, peace and purpose across every generation, cultivating a thriving, diverse community by deepening connections with Jesus and one another.
We are a passionate congregation about reaching out in our local community as well as across the world with the love of Jesus Christ. We try to include an element of Missions in almost everything we do. We love traveling to places such as Africa, Peru, Cuba and many more as well as helping local missions such as the Fight Against Human Trafficking, Good Samaritan Mission, our UMC Children's Home and many more. Please consider getting involved in making a difference.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Mission of the Month at The United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. As the Mission team, we are excited to learn more about your mission.
We receive many requests to become part of this program. We prayerfully read all applications with special consideration given to missions whose program is dedicated to making disciples of Jesus Christ and show a proven history of successful ministry. All missions accepted as Mission of the Month must support the mission and vision of The United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. Because we currently have many applications, not every mission that applies will be accepted this year.
We will closely study the goals of your mission, the actual percentage of your proposed budget that directly supports the slated mission, and your plans for documentation and ongoing evaluation and accountability. Should we support your mission, we will ask for a follow up at the end of the year, stating how the funds that you received were used.
Complete the application below. All 2026 submissions need to be completed by September 30th, 2025.
Blessings to you, and thank you for all that you do in moving forth in your mission to make a difference in our community and in God’s world.
