UMC Resources for COVID-19 Response
The United Methodist Church is committed to health and wholeness for all people. As our 2016 Book of Resolutions notes, “God challenges our global church, as God has challenged God’s servants through the ages, to help create networks of care around the world for those who are sick or wounded.” General agencies of The United Methodist Church, annual conferences around the world, local churches and church entities are putting this into practice in their response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. United Methodist agencies are providing resources to support local churches and annual conferences in this work and to tell the stories of our church’s efforts to bring health and wholeness to all.
