Sunflower United Methodist Church — located on Sunflower Avenue in Sunflower, Mississippi — is a unique, small membership church with a big passion to serve Christ. In 1968, the church moved from a small building to their current location, an 18,000 square foot former public school that was built in the 1940s.
Over the years, the facility had deteriorated badly. A leaky roof caused major damage to the ceilings, floors, and walls, but the building was still structurally sound.
Driven by the belief that God called Sunflower United Methodist to be an integral part of reaching out to those in need, the church began renovations in March of 2013. They envisioned a mission hub that would enable volunteers to serve people within a half-hour’s radius of Sunflower.
This vision birthed the ministry that is now Delta Grace.
Another area church, Moorhead United Methodist, has partnered with Sunflower to become a primary sponsor of Delta Grace. Thanks to God’s provision, through the help of many churches, organizations and individuals, the Sunflower facility is now a fully-functioning mission hub that has hosted thousands of missioners.
