Statements from our Bishops as they guide faithful response to violence — lamenting loss, offering comfort, and urging us toward deeper justice, peace, and hope.

As United Methodists, we are called to embody Christ's love by embracing all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, or country of origin. Our denomination is steadfast in its commitment to hospitality, affirming that immigrants, refugees, and asylees are beloved members of God’s family. We are called to advocate for fair and compassionate treatment of all immigrants and migrants, and to cultivate communities where hospitality and welcome are extended to those in our midst.

UM Agencies

Agencies provide resources and services that equip local congregations and provide a connection for ministry throughout the world. These organizations can be found at all levels of the connection (churchwide, regional and local).

You make it possible

The United Methodist Church is built on connection—local churches joining together to make a difference far greater than we could on our own. 

Our generosity is one way we live out this connection. Giving isn’t just an act of kindness—it’s a reflection of our faith and discipleship. Through giving, serving, and leading, United Methodists bring hope to the world. Whether you are volunteering, donating, starting a ministry, or simply noticing God at work in your community, you are part of this story. And your story matters. 

Together, these shared moments remind us that the Church is alive, active, and making a difference. Together we are united in impact to make things possible.
