SUMC's Church and Society mission area works to make our contributions felt in a needy world. Our goal is to give attention to local and larger community ministries of compassion, justice, and advocacy. Each project is researched and studied to assure our money is spent wisely. The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church directs our outreach to include church and society, global ministries, higher education and campus ministry, health and welfare, Christian unity and interreligious concerns, religion and race, and the status and role of women.

During the Advent season, many members elect to give a gift in the name of a loved one in lieu of purchasing a gift. Gifts are encouraged throughout the year for special occasions. A gift card is sent to the person you honor when the donation is deposited in the offering plate or mailed to the church office. We believe this is a creative alternative to other traditional gifts.
