Stewardship

YOU support students

The United Methodist Church has dedicated a Special Sunday to United Methodist Student Day, where we set aside time to honor and celebrate students in our congregations and around the world.

With this special offering, we invest in them as their spiritual gifts are revealed, and they grow into strong leaders. We are mindful that they may be struggling financially, spiritually or emotionally. They are preparing themselves to face a world that, in many ways, is broken and hurting. This offering funds over 70 scholarships and loans for United Methodist students.

Together, we can support them by helping them prepare.
