The United Methodist Church can make a difference. Local church mission is the foundation of a vital congregation. Bishop John Schol Local ministries build up the community of faith and transform lives and social conditions in the community and the world.
Together we are making a difference. 25% of all funds raised stay in the local church for mission. Churches can decide how to use their mission funds:
Food distribution Child care Prison programs
Local churches know best how to meet the needs in their communities.
No one congregation can do all these ministries, but together we make a difference.
