To strengthen the global mission of the United Methodist Church to make disciples of Jesus Christ
Through our tithe (10%) to the Arkansas Conference each month we are working to make disciples of Jesus Christ all over the world.
Our gifts are going to send and support over 300 short- and long-term missionaries, including young adults; collaborate and engage with volunteers; participate in evangelizing and church planting through mission initiatives; address diseases of poverty and global health; and respond to natural and civil disasters. Through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) we have volunteers in 115 countries who are focused on making disciples of Jesus Christ, strengthening, developing, and renewing Christian congregations and communities, alleviating human suffering, seeking justice, freedom, and peace for those they are serving with.
We are working to increase access to and utilization of malaria preventive measures in targeted communities; and increase access to and utilization of malaria diagnosis and treatment services in targeted communities. In 2008, the UMC made a commitment to reduce Malaria-caused deaths. Our gifts go to support that effort through a program called Imagine No Malaria.
We are serving Christian leaders around the world who are defined, formed, and shaped by a process of intellectual engagement, spiritual and character formation, and leadership development. This is mostly through our commitment to supporting training and candidacy programs to those seeking to be pastors and laity who want to serve in greater capacities in the church. As Methodist our gifts go to support a global network of more than 1,000 Methodist-related schools, colleges and universities including thirteen Methodist seminaries currently training over 6,500 future leaders in the ecumenical church.
We are offering tools to guide conversations about racial justice, racism, and religion in hopes of leading in systemic transformation, monitors for racial equity, equipping the church and church leadership in areas of cultural competency, preparing, and supporting leaders engaging in cross-racial/cross-cultural ministry and serving as a fair-process advocate in matters of racial discrimination.
We are being advocates for full participation of women in the total life of The United Methodist Church and churches throughout the world. We’re helping the church recognize every person – clergy and lay, women and men, adults, and children—are full and equal parts of God’s human family.
We are providing resources and support for programs of evangelism, stewardship, and the needs of men. We are encouraging participation in several programs serving at-risk youth and advocating to prevent domestic violence.
We are seeking to improve the lives of women, children, and youth in the United States and internationally. We are advocates on peace and justice, economic inequality, education, the rights of children, human rights, and farm workers' rights all over the world.
We are supporting Wespath who administers pension plans that help secure the retirement futures of clergy and lay workers, which invests in a socially responsible manner and participates in shareholder advocacy, proxy voting, portfolio screening and community investing. Wespath also uses funds to invest in “The Positive Social Purpose Lending Program” which promotes affordable housing, community development and expanded loan opportunities for poor communities worldwide.
We are preserving the history of the denomination and its antecedents, and we are leading in challenging government institutions with the words of Scripture to care for human rights, the poor, the marginalized, the oppressed, women and children, and many other areas of social concern as outlined in the Scriptures, the Social Principles of our church, the Book of Discipline, and the Book of Resolutions.
