Our Work

Serving the World Through Mission and Ministry

God calls people into service from communities all around the world. Some of us serve close to home, while others travel thousands of miles away. Though the nature of our work may vary, we’re all part of Missio Dei — God’s Mission. And we all share a desire to live out the teachings of Jesus and embody God’s love for all people.

What’s Your Calling?

Whether you feel called to share our work with others, donate to a cause, volunteer with your church or join a mission overseas, Global Ministries welcomes you.

United Methodist missionaries come from every walk of life, and serve terms that range from a few months to several years. You can work in mission locally, nationally or globally.

Church Engagement

We provide local leaders with training, resources and support to cultivate new faith communities, revitalize existing ones, and foster diversity and inclusivity in UMC congregations.
