Your Impact

YOU transform communities

The mission of The United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. The local church is at the heart of the mission.

The impact that local churches provide within their communities for spiritual, physical and emotional needs is vital. The #IGiveUMC campaign encourages funding for local United Methodist churches and the ministries they deliver.
