YOU impact students

The United Methodist Church has set aside a Special Sunday to honor and uplift students within our congregation and around the world.

On United Methodist Student Day, our contributions support scholarships for promising UM students, investing in their spiritual and academic growth and helping them develop into strong, faith-driven leaders.

Together, we can support them by helping them prepare.
