World Service
The World Service Fund apportionment is the heart of our denomination wide presence, underwriting Christian mission and ministry around the world. It enables United Methodists to reach out through the general church boards and agencies. Nurtured and funded by United Methodists, the World Service Fund apportionment: Undergirds a network of missionaries and others who serve in the name of Christ and the United Methodist Church around the world. It supports specific local church work with children, youth, singles, students, persons who are mentally and physically challenged, adults and older persons. It enriches our congregational life with worship, retreat and camping resources, leader training, and stewardship development. Provides leadership and coordination for denominational ministry with youth. Continues nearly 200 years of commitment to quality college and graduate education. Certifies United Methodist professional Christian educators, communicators and musicians. And World Service assures that United Methodists speak and work to help encourage a more ethical, just and humane world. It continues a proud tradition of cooperation and dialogue with other faith traditions through interdenominational and ecumenical work. And gives our denomination a presence in the mass media and makes new communications technologies accessible to the church; and expresses our commitment to God's reign through ministries of peace and justice, and efforts to build a church and a society truly inclusive of all persons regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or handicapping condition.
