W.I.N.G.S. is simply a useful structure for organizing the many and varied opportunities for members to actively participate in the mission of Tucker First UMC: “To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” Each letter represents a broad area of ministry and service: Worship, Invite, Nurture, Grow, and Serve.
Worship includes all elements of creating a worship service from acolytes and greeters to organizing weddings
and funerals.
Invite is specifically focused on bringing non-members into the body of Christ through evangelism and hospitality.
Nurture & Grow encompasses all we do to support one another (especially in times of crisis and hardship),
assimilating each person into the life of our church, and continuing each person’s advancement "in the
knowledge and grace of Jesus Christ" as seen in Sunday School, Bible studies, VBS, and numerous other
programs.
Serve consists of opportunities to minister to the needs of others locally, nationally and internationally. Habitat
for Humanity, Murphy Harpst Children’s Home, and ESOL classes are just a few examples of ministering to
others through service.
