Supporting United Methodist Mission Work

•Covenant Missionary—Your church can begin a Covenant Relationship with one of the more than 300 Global Ministries missionaries serving around the world (Book of Discipline ¶1302). The suggested financial contribution is $5 minimum per church member per year, but these relationships are much more than financial commitments. Churches and missionaries pray for one another and communicate regularly. Go to www.umcmission.org/Get-Involved for details.

•The Advance—The official program of The United Methodist Church for designated, second-mile giving (Book of Discipline, ¶822). Through The Advance, you may choose to support specific mission programs or mission personnel with your financial gifts. For details go to www.umcmission.org/giving.

•Special Sundays—Support mission work in the United States and around the world through six church-wide “Special Sunday” offerings for mission (Book of Discipline, ¶¶262, 263). See the “Annual Mission Calendar” section on page 17 for details.

•Giving Tuesday—Held every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday is an international movement to extend the spirit of giving thanks into the Advent season. Go to www.umcmission.org/givingtuesday for details and resources to share in your congregation.
