THE THREE GOALS FOR THIS CAMPAIGN:
- Grow your church social media engagement
- Encourage and inspire others with positive media
- Raise funds to support your local church ministry
You determine how or what ministry needs to grow. Do you need donations to replenish your food pantry or send your youth on a mission trip? Use this campaign to get your congregation and community involved by asking them to make a donation in honor or memory of someone who’s made an impact in their life. Donors might choose to support your local church, a family church, the church they grew up in, the church their honoree attends, etc. Others may feel led to volunteer as their donation and you can use those skills to get new projects started or finally complete a project! Either way, your ministry will grow through gifts of time and money.
Six specific celebrations were created and scheduled through the year, but we encourage you to not limit it to just these celebrations. Use the evergreen resources to celebrate all special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, baptisms, graduations and recognitions. Tying the campaign to a specific celebration will encourage participation because people are already seeking ways to honor loved ones on special occasions.
Everything you need to launch the #IGiveUMC campaign in support of your church is available in the below sections broken out by language. As the year passes, updated resources will be uploaded here, so check back often!
Together, we can support our church’s mission and bring positivity to social media by celebrating how we’ve experienced God’s love through others!
