2025 Mission Trip
to Lydia Patterson Institute
See something good that Methodists have been doing along our southern border for over a century.
Lydia Patterson, a Methodist lay person, realized more than a century ago that teaching English to those who live along the border with Mexico gave her the opportunity to bring disciples to Christ and to improve the daily lives of those struggling to make a living in the border cities of El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico. In 1913, Patterson established a school that offers programs for Spanish-speaking youth grades 6-12. All classes are in English preparing students to attend Methodists universities in the United States if they wish.
October 11-18, 2025, Church of the Servant will have a mission to Lydia Patterson Institute to help with LPI’s mission by meeting students, learning about their lives and education, and doing light construction and painting. Join Rev. Kyle Anderson and Pat McGarrity as our 12-16 member team journeys to be the hands and feet of Christ at this Oklahoma United Methodist mission. Contact Pat at 405-990-2265 (leaving a message), Rev. Sheri Lashley at 580-210-0013, or the church office at 405-721-4141 to sign up or for more information.
