United Methodists believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, as taught by Jesus Christ.  

Throughout the connection, we align faith with action and work together to confront injustice and seek equity. By standing against oppression and fostering inclusivity, we seek to build a more loving world by embodying compassion, mercy and justice in communities across the globe.

United Methodists have a deep concern for social justice. Learn about our history, ministries of love and service today, and where you can serve.
