The BeUMC Message and Campaign

“#BeUMC is a grassroots effort built upon powerful stories of congregations and individuals living their faith, while celebrating what draws people to The United Methodist Church and what United Methodists collectively aspire to be. It calls people to embrace their Wesleyan Heritage and envision a promising future in which members play an active role.

The campaign is consistent with the Council of Bishops of The United Methodist Church’s “A Narrative for the Continuing United Methodist Church,” adopted in November 2021. The narrative speaks to the excitement, enthusiasm and hopes for the future of the denomination that are shared amongst United Methodists.” (Full article can be found here)
