At PUMC, we’re blessed to support many mission projects that share God’s love with those in need. Your generosity—whether through financial gifts, donations of supplies, or hands-on service—helps us make a lasting impact in our community and beyond. If you’d like to contribute, please mark your undesignated gifts to PUMC missions with “Missions” in the memo field. This helps our Missions Committee direct your gifts to the areas where they’re needed most. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to spreading God’s love through these important projects. Together, we’re making a difference!

Come hungry, leave happy—we can’t wait to welcome you!

After months of prayerful planning, Reach Beyond is ready to help PUMC extend its mission and share God’s love in powerful new ways! This inspiring project will transform our Worship Annex into a warm, welcoming hub for hospitality, outreach, and worship.

We’re making meaningful updates: replacing broken windows, upgrading 25-year-old carpet, modernizing the electrical panel, and adding cozy seating. The refreshed space will also feature a permanent prayer wall, art tracks, and more—a beautiful reflection of God’s love for all.

With a total project cost of $65,000, we’re already over halfway there! As of December 15, 2024, we’ve raised $34,988.66. Every gift brings us closer to our goal.
This revitalized space will bless PUMC and our community, offering new ways to connect, grow, and share the Good News of Christ. Your support matters—together, we can make this vision a reality.

Let’s do this, PUMC! The best is yet to come.

Plainfield UMC’s men, young men, and guests come together every third Saturday of the month at 8:30 a.m. for an amazing time of food, fellowship, and faith!

We can’t wait to see you there—don’t miss it!

This compassionate group reminds us of the power of music to heal and connect. Their gift of song is a gentle reminder of love, hope, and God’s grace, touching hearts in profound and meaningful ways.
