Area of Focus:
We are working to raise up a new generation of Christian leaders for the church and the world; and we are strengthening those in place to ensure a growing and vibrant church, as well as principled community leaders, throughout the world.
Global Ministries is working to cultivate new church leaders and strengthen those in place to ensure a growing and vibrant church throughout the world. Mission studies, Schools of Christian Mission, and training programs in the US and throughout the world broaden the reach and accessibility for leadership training throughout the United Methodist connection.
Summer internships and individual volunteer programs provide opportunities for hands-on practical ministry experience.
