United Methodists do God's work through a unique connectional covenant. It's as simple as people coming together and combining our money to accomplish something bigger than any one of us could do alone.
Learn how your monies are helping those around the connection.
The majority of every dollar—88 cents on average—remains in the local church to support its ministries, which are the core of our connection.
On average, 5 cents goes to benevolent giving, which supports those in need through disaster relief aid, emergency response and special needs.
Another 5 cents is shared by districts, annual conferences and jurisdictions all working together to strengthen our connection and fun vital ministries such as new church starts and campus ministries.
The remaining 2 cents supports the worldwide mission of The United Methodist Church, including education, episcopal leadership, global missions, communications, justice initiatives, discipleship ministries, finance and other intra-church administration.
