Your Impact

YOU develop leaders

World Communion Sunday calls the church to reach out in love to all of God’s children.

United Methodists receive a Special Sunday offering on this day that helps students from around the world reach their full potential through scholarships, training and mentoring. Half of the dollars fund leadership development programs and scholarships for marginalized students, with the other half supporting scholarships and in-service training programs for racial-ethnic undergraduate students.
