Students UNITE for Second Year
“The more we can do things with our youth and children, the better off everyone in the church will be.” Youth ages sixth grade to high school senior gathered at Central Methodist University this summer for UNITE, a week of fellowship, learning and a whole lot of fun (I mean, have you seen the photos?).

MUMF Generosity Cohort
Move your church from a culture of scarcity to a culture of generosity! A culture of generosity in a church has to do with more than church generosity of money. It’s also about the generosity of time, hospitality, care, connection, prayers and praise. Join your Missouri United Methodist Foundation for a Year-Round Generosity Cohort to discover new ways of creating a culture of generosity that can impact all areas of your church’s ministry. Learn more about both daytime and evening cohort opportunities that start in September. Sign up by September 3:
