East Ohio United Methodist Volunteers in Mission Scholarship (Fillable Google Form)

Every year the Conference Volunteers in Mission Coordinators provide information about the mission teams for that year to the Jurisdiction Offices, which compile reports for the General Board of Global Ministries. This information then becomes a measure of the scope of mission volunteering in the United Methodist Church. If your church or district or other entity had a work trip this year, please send the report form to the address below the form. It is important for us to do our best to provide complete and accurate information on file for the use of the GBGM, so please report Youth trips as well as Adult trips.
