Costa Rica Mission Team
For many years, First Methodist has sent mission teams to Costa Rica to serve alongside Methodist missionaries Ray and Lidia Zirkel.
Teams typically include 16–24 participants and serve through construction projects, Vacation Bible School, and ministry with local children and families. No construction experience is necessary, and you do not need to speak Spanish. There is a place for people of many different ages, abilities, and skill levels to serve.
Our Mission
Inspired and empowered by Christ’s love, the First Methodist Church Mission Team of San Angelo journeys to Costa Rica to serve alongside our brothers and sisters in faith. Through construction, collaboration, and relationship-building, we seek to strengthen the local church and community while sharing the hope and grace of Jesus Christ.
