United Methodist Missions Update (You Should Know!)
Through this apportionment (our connectional ministries — world service
commitment) United Methodist Churches:
-
undergird
a network of missionaries and others who serve in the name of Christ and
the U.M.C. around the world;
-
strengthen
evangelism efforts, stimulate church growth, expand Bible studies and
nurture spiritual development;
-
support
specific local church work with children, youth, singles, students,
persons who are mentally and physically challenged, adults, and older
persons;
-
enrich
our congregational life with worship, retreat and camping resources,
leader training and stewardship development;
-
provide
leadership and coordination for denominational ministry with youth;
-
continue
nearly 200 years of commitment to quality college and graduate education;
-
certify
United Methodist professional Christian educators, communicators, and
musicians;
-
express
our commitment to God’s reign through ministries of peace and justice, and
efforts to build a church and society inclusive of all persons regardless
of race, ethnicity, gender, or handicapping condition.
The World Service Fund is the heart of our denominational presence,
underwriting Christian mission and ministry around the world. It enables
United Methodists to reach out to the world through the work of the
general church boards and agencies. The first mile, or priority, is for
local churches to fulfill their commitment to the World Service Fund and
conference benevolences.
(Coming Soon: an update on what is supported through the
General Church Funds
of our connectional ministry dollars.)
"As Caring Disciples of Jesus Christ
We Celebrate God's Love and Share the Word with Our Neighbors." We are a
mission minded church always looking for new ways to serve our Lord.
