Our History

Since 1940, United Methodist Communications has been telling the church’s story, both within the church and to the world.

Though it has evolved through many name and structural changes, the denomination’s communication agency has initiated a very long list of “firsts” throughout its history. From mimeograph machines to cloud computing, reference cards to databases, sound sheets to CDs, flannelgraphs to infographics, filmstrips to high-definition video, posters to digital ads, the denomination has come a long way in communications.
