Our mission outreach offers many opportunities to serve both locally and globally.
Coronado has an active Traveling Mission ministry. Since 1998, we have sent over 40 teams to 12 countries and 8 states with over 400 participants. Coronado Mission Teams have included:
(1) Medical Teams, comprised primarily of healthcare professionals, who have performed lifesaving surgeries and provided mental and dental care for many people who have no access to regular medical care;
(2) Construction Teams, comprised of people of all skill levels, who have built new homes, worked in emergency relief, participated in home rehabilitation, and worked on the construction of schools, churches and playgrounds;
(3) Educational Teams, comprised primarily of youth (middle school and high school), who have learned about the cultures, religions and lives of diverse groups within the U.S.;
(4) Service Teams at the UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) Depot at Sager Brown, LA, who worked packing relief supplies to be used around the world, rehabilitated local homes, and worked in various Sager Brown workshops.
Our most recent mission teams have been:
- Construction trips to Mississippi to areas along the Gulf coast which were devastated by Hurricane Katrina
- Senior High -Mission trip to Bahamas Methodist Habitat to rehab houses
- Guatemala Construction trips continue to work on the pre-school at Salud y Paz, a Methodist dental-health mission which we support.
