The Advance Connects The Church in Mission Through Giving
The Advance lets United Methodists choose exactly where their gifts go. Since 1948, it has connected individuals and churches with missionaries, mission projects, and ministries around the world. Every gift goes beyond your congregation to a ministry you choose, from planting churches and supporting missionaries to responding to disasters and improving global health.
When we give together, we put our faith into action and reach further than any one congregation could on its own. That is the heart of United in Impact, the initiative that brings all United Methodist connectional giving under one shared vision. Together, we are united in purpose and greater in impact.

United Methodist Missionaries serve in a variety of roles and placements, all with the goal of fulfilling the mission of The United Methodist Church itself: “to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” Global Ministries trains, commissions, assigns and supports United Methodist missionaries in nearly 60 countries around the world.
Church Engagement ministries help grow Methodism in new places, strengthen churches and support programs that share the good news of God’s love. Global Ministries supports new churches and helps existing ones grow. We nurture new Methodist communities, provide training and scholarships for church leaders, and support racial and ethnic faith groups across the United States.
Humanitarian Relief and Recovery is the worldwide humanitarian relief arm of The United Methodist Church. Global Ministries and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) strengthen United Methodist response to humanitarian crises around the world through disaster relief and recovery, migrant and refugee support, environmental sustainability, agriculture and food security.
Global Health helps people worldwide access needed care. Global Ministries partners with United Methodist conferences and health boards to improve the health and well-being of people worldwide. Through our Global Health program, we’re helping communities strengthen their healthcare services, eliminate preventable diseases, like malaria and HIV and AIDS, and support vulnerable groups, such as mothers, newborns and children.
