United Methodists: Stronger through Connection
The United Methodist Church's special giving structure ensures your generosity blesses as many people as possible in sustainable, strategic ways. Our connectional system connects your local congregation to our global denomination of more than 12 million members across four continents. While worship platforms have changed in light of the recent crisis, we still come together to accomplish more.
Through the support of you, and your church, we fund hundreds of ministries each year. The call we hear from Galatians 6:2 and Matthew 19-19b to love and give to our neighbors is clear. When you give towards Special Sundays and The Advance you change the world one life at a time.
Support Special Sunday’s by giving ONLINE or by mailing checks to: GCFA, P.O. Box 340029, Nashville, TN 37203.
Support a mission project or ministry of your choice through The Advance ONLINE, by phone at 1-800-862-4246 or by mailing a check to: The Advance, 458 Ponce De Leon Ave, North East, Atlanta, GA 30308.
