Your Impact

YOU provide peace

The UMC’s Social Principles echo Jesus’ words to love our enemies, seek justice and serve as conflict reconcilers. The Special Sunday offering allows us to strengthen God's family with ministries that challenge structures of inequality and empower people and communities through systemic change.

Half of collections remain in annual conferences to support Peace with Justice Coordinators to develop local social justice ministries. The other half provides for education, advocacy and action efforts.
