YOU are the connection
United Methodists are connectional. We exercise this when we give beyond our local church and local community needs through our connectional system.
Connectional giving — all of us giving together — is fuel for ministry. The United Methodist Church’s special giving structure ensures your generosity blesses as many people as possible in sustainable, strategic ways.
You are the piece that enables us to meet the needs of ALL God’s people — together.
