Welcome to First United Methodist Church of Mercedes.

FUMC Mercedes is a mission center. We have designed our education, kitchen and fellowship buildings to double as a staging area for visiting medical and construction teams serving in Mexico.

The “Team House” is a converted farmhouse, which offers additional lodging about 3 miles further south.

Church volunteers greet and assist approximately 35 mission teams a year, providing translation and prep
work as needed. Several of our church members, as well as Winter Texans and other friends, work in the colonias of Nuevo Progreso.

We distribute beans and rice, clothing, and compassionate witness to our Mexican brothers and sisters in need.

If you spend a couple of weeks in worship with us, you will quickly notice our monthly Beans & Rice offering for Mexico and Community Care Fund offering for needs in the Mercedes community, including Baskets Full (the Mercedes food pantry).
