Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ — Galations 6:2 (NIV)

Connectional giving is faith in action and knowing that when many people and churches come together and combine resources, we can accomplish big things around the world in Jesus Christ’s name. The United Methodist Church supports apportioned and designated funds through connectional gifting from our global denomination of more than 12 million members across four continents.

Each year, the annual conference establishes a budget and a method for apportioning that budget across all the congregations of the conference. A church’s apportionments are based on three factors: its membership, its operating expenses, and the conference budget–relative to all other churches in the annual conference. Church membership is weighted 1/3 and church operating expenses 2/3. Apportionments are calculated based upon each church’s membership and expenses at the close of the preceding year, accepted at the annual conference of the current year, then billed in December for the following year.
