MISSIONS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
United Methodist Volunteers In Mission (UMVIM) is a grassroots network within The United Methodist Church that offers guidance, organization, and training for serving with the poor, building churches, and assisting in disaster response, community health, and leadership training on short-term mission journeys. You may serve as an individual or be part of a team of 10-16 people.
When you are part of an UMVIM team, you participate in each of the Four Areas of Focus of The United Methodist Church: you develop principled leaders, engage in ministry with the poor, improve global health, and create new and renewed faith communities. Living as a disciple, being the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus Christ in this way, makes new disciples and transforms the world.
