3 Theological Education and Vocation of Ministry Support: $1.7 million—6% of Mission & Service ($1.2 million in direct grants)
Mission & Service–funded programs educate and equip future leaders for the church that we are becoming. This includes recruiting new ministers, funding for theological schools and education centres, and providing student education bursaries and continuing education for ministry personnel.
Generosity Funds Vital Mission & Service• The pie chart below shows how generosity supports six program areas of Mission & Service• All Mission & Service giving is applied entirely to these six program areas• Expenditures in the six program areas include direct grants and program costs (including program staff).
Support services required for program delivery include finance, information technology, human resources, and communications.
• The one-time remit implementation costs incurred in 2018 are not included because they were funded by a one-time draw on reserves and not from current Mission & Service donations.

5 Support to Local Ministries: $6.2 million—22% of Mission & Service ($1.5 million in direct grants)
Mission & Service gives financial and programming support to congregations as they transition in ministry, assist ministers in remote communities, or experiment with new ministries. This includes pastoral relations and ongoing support to ministers and communities of faith; mission support grants for congregations; and renewal and new ministry support through the EDGE Network and the Embracing the Spirit program, which provides grants, coaches, and mentors. Now in its fourth year, Embracing the Spirit is receiving more requests for grants as well as stories of how grant recipients have flourished.
6 National Indigenous Church: $4.8 million—17% of Mission & Service ($1.9 million in direct grants)
Mission & Service supports programs of The Healing Fund and the Justice and Reconciliation Fund as well as advocacy within the Canadian community and justice work, support of Indigenous communities of faith, and nurturing of the faith formation relationship of Indigenous youth and settlers as we all work together to live in right relations.
General Council Governance and Shared Leadership: $5.4 million, funded from other revenue and draw on reserves
Gifts to Mission & Service will continue to not fund governance and shared services. The governance and leadership costs were previously shown in pie charts as funded by investment and other income, including deficit financing, not by Mission & Service. Now with the new assessment formula, governance and shared services are funded by assessments.
Pension and Group Health Insurance Services: $2.7 million, self-funded
Gifts to Mission & Service will also continue to not fund pension and group health insurance services, as participants in the pension and group health insurance programs fully fund these programs.

MISSION ANDSERVICE FUND
WE BELIEVE THAT AS A CHURCH OUR PURPOSE IS TO LIVE OUT GOD’S MISSION IN THE WORLD. In The United Church of Canada the way we live this out is through our gifts for Mission & Service.
When you make Mission & Service giving a regular part of your life of faith, you are living out God’s mission. Look at the pictures! Each one tells a story of someone whose life was changed by Mission & Service. People like Paola Márquez, who has been empowered by Mission & Service support to work toward full inclusion for LGBTQIA2S+ people in Colombia. Or children who learn about caring for God’s creation at one of the many United Church camps. Or Bissell Centre, where people struggling to feed and house themselves can find a hot meal and caring conversation.
David Armour, Director of Philanthropy
You Are at the Centre of Mission & MinistryThank you for your Mission & Service giving!
