"Go Therefore and Make Disciples of All Nations"
-Matthew 28:18-20
July Mission of the Month
Unity (Young Adult Ministry)
Unity was formed in our church in May 2023, following the graduation of a group of UTC Youth from high school. Many of these young individuals had been active members of the UTC youth group, but upon graduation, we recognized that they could no longer participate in that setting. With the approval from our Administrative Council, a new ministry was born. As close friends for nearly a decade, we wanted to ensure they maintained their bond and fellowship. Unity provides them the opportunity to stay connected and comfortably begin their new journey as young adults. Unity remains dedicated to our church and has been actively involved in various activities such as helping with UTC Youth, behind the coffee bar on Sunday mornings and fundraising during church events like FALLtoberfest. Our gatherings range from events, including Bible studies, birthday celebrations, Sunday lunches after church, and Friendsgiving. We strive to balance spiritual enrichment with social connection, ensuring that everyone feels included and part of our extended family. Our goal is to create a community for young adults within our church where we can all grow in faith and support each other through life's challenges. Unity has become a safe haven for young adults to share their struggles and triumphs, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue our spiritual journey with them. We welcome new members who are searching for a place to belong and grow with us. We are grateful to our church and the Missions Team for selecting us as July’s Mission of the Month. With your generous support we will be able to expand our reach and impact, and help more young adults find a place where they feel accepted and supported. Our mission is to create a space where everyone feels heard, valued, and loved. With the funds from this Mission of the Month, we will be able to organize more events and provide resources for our members. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead of us and look forward to continuing our journey with Unity. Thank you for your support and belief in our mission. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive community for young adults within our church.
We are a passionate congregation about reaching out in our local community as well as across the world with the love of Jesus Christ.

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.
Please complete the enclosed application and return it to:
