The new Methodist Church in Cambodia look to mission groups, like First Church’s, to support their efforts through evangelism projects and with financial gifts, enabling congregations to become self-sufficient without relying on charitable donations.
On the second Saturday of the month, First Church joins in collaboration with St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in hosting "The Shower of Blessing's Breakfast" for the homeless of Balboa Park.
First Church has been an active support congregation for Interfaith Shelter Network for over 30 years, providing meals and shelter for a two-week rotation with 8 to 10 guests.
