Service is at the heart of our faith journey at Lakewood UMC. We invite you to any of the following, whether you’re interested in participating just once or on a more regular basis. Below are just a few of the ways you can plug in:

Community Garden

In our efforts to be a more sustainable community and good neighbor, we host a community garden on our property. If you have a green thumb or just like being outside, we have a spot for you to help out here!

Delores Project

The Delores Project partners with individuals experiencing barriers to housing to identify their path to stability. We provide a monthly meal for 50 of our unhoused neighbors and always welcome those interested in serving or in contributing food.

Jeffco Eats

Lakewood UMC hosts Jeffco Eats, a program designed to tackle the root causes of hunger by providing healthy, nutritious food to families and children in our community, with a special focus on meeting the needs for weekend food in high population of food-insecure children in Jeffco Schools. Jeffco Eats distributes food on Fridays and welcomes new helpers.

Genesis Gallery

Our Genesis Gallery bring together artists from various walks of life and seek to help artists flourish in our little neck of the woods. We are always looking for volunteers to help with welcoming visitors, processing sales, and hang and take down exhibits.

Recovery Works

Our United Women in Faith regularly prepare meals for Recovery Works, which provides access to resources, community, and recovery to our unhoused neighbors.

Local School Support

We work with local schools to help with family support, including an Angel Tree and attending school meetings as community representatives.

A/V Team

We always need tech-savvy folks to help us with Sunday morning and special services!

Worship Team

We believe every child and young person is beloved, whole, and made in the image of God. As a progressive congregation committed to justice, compassion, and service to others, all of our Children, Youth, and Family programs are designed to partner with families, meeting you where you are and honoring who you are as we grow in faith together.

We am to create welcoming spaces, both inside and beyond the church, where every young person can grow, belong, and live out their faith in ways that serve the world around them. Email info@lumc.net for more info.

CHILDREN’S PROGRAM

During worship services, we welcome kiddos aged 3-10 to join us for Children’s Church for crafts and lessons.

We also offer a Summer Peace Camp for kiddos from 3-5th grade. Peace Camp is a three-day program for kids to learn how peace is the root of our faith journey, how to live more peacefully, and to how to model peace in their community.

YOUTH (Grades 6-12)

LUMC Youth are part of the Westside Youth Group, a joint youth group serving the UM churches on the Westside of Denver. We meet weekly during the school year with a focus on service, study, community, and fun. Whether for a lock-in, a weekend sledding retreat, serving our homeless friends, or our yearly trip to volunteer where needed, we’d love to have you join!
