Through our connected congregations,
we United Methodists accomplish what no single
church, district, or annual conference ever could
hope to do. By contributing a portion of FUMC's
annual budget to the Holston Conference (and through
the conference to the general church), each
individual, each family, each congregation gives a
fair share for the church's work—which includes
large-scale global outreach programs.
At this
time, the United Methodist Church maintains seven
apportioned funds:
- World Service Fund
- Ministerial Education Fund
- Africa University Fund
- Black College Fund
- Interdenominational
Cooperation Fund
- Episcopal Fund
- General Administration Fund
Each of these funds is described
on the
UMC web site.
For more information on
connectional giving in general, you can download a
PowerPoint presentation prepared by The United
Methodist Church. The presentation spotlights
biblical and historical foundations for giving and
tells about some of the many places where we make a
difference in people's lives.
