Church & Society
Working from its headquarters in the only non-governmental building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., USA, the General Board of Church and Society uses Scripture, The Social Principles and The Book of Resolutions as its core documents. Through statements and articles, seminars, forums, internships and collaboration, Church and Society leads and challenges United Methodists to pray, study and work in areas of social concern. Its resources inform, motivate and train United Methodists on issues of social justice in the society.
The General Board of Church and Society and The General Commission on Religion and Race will co-host The Sand Creek massacre exhibit on display in the United Methodist Building in Washington, D.C., from November 10 to December 1, 2025.
The General Board of Church and Society presents a new and updated free youth lectionary curriculum designed to help young people explore the intersection of faith and justice.
The General Board of Church and Society announces their 2025 Fall Webinar Series “The Sand Creek Massacre Remembered: Truth-Telling as a Path to Healing” to learn about the importance of truthful history telling, and explore what it means to speak truth to power.
Advocacy
As United Methodists, we understand our call to transform the world involves personal, social and civic righteousness.
The relationships we form in our communities, often through our direct service and mercy ministries, lead us to be advocates for justice.
