What is The Advance Ministry Program?
The Advance is a giving network in The United Methodist Church that ensures 100% of every gift supports the mission or ministry you choose. It connects your generosity directly to trusted projects—whether in your local community or across the globe. Each project is carefully reviewed to align with United Methodist goals, build meaningful partnerships, share its story, and show the real impact of giving. What makes The Advance unique is that every dollar goes exactly where you designate, helping ministries and missionaries bring hope and lasting change.
Our generosity unites us in impact and is how we live out our faith to make a real difference. United in impact, we do more together than we ever could alone.

United Methodist missionaries work in partnership with local communities around the world. Their ministries look different in every place—shaped by the culture, language, and needs of the people they serve.

Evangelism and church revitalization helps launch new faith communities and strengthen existing churches as they grow and serve their neighborhoods. This outreach connects people to faith in ways that are meaningful and rooted in local culture.

Humanitarian Relief and Recovery helps the church bring hope and healing in times of crisis—offering emergency aid, supporting migrants, improving food security, and caring for creation to build a more resilient future.

Global health brings life-saving care and lasting hope to communities with the greatest need—through programs like the UMC’s Abundant Health initiative, which works to ensure every person can live a healthier, fuller life.
