Missions
The Goodrich United Methodist Church supports a variety of missions on both a local and worldwide basis.
Mobility Worldwide – East Michigan
Mobility Worldwide-East Michigan (MWEM) is a faith-based group started by members of our church. It is affiliated with the parent organization, Mobility Worldwide, located in Columbia, Missouri. The organization produces three wheeled carts for adults and children in poor nations of the world. The carts are given to people who have lost the use of arms or legs due to land mines, disease, birth defects or accidents.
MWEM is made up entirely of volunteers and is designated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Click here to learn more Worldwide and how you can help.
