Miracle Sunday Initiative 2026
The United Methodist Vision
Our vision is to form disciples of Jesus Christ, who are nurtured by outstanding leaders and empowered by the Holy Spirit to love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in their communities and throughout the world.
The Council of Bishops, the Connectional Table, and the General Council on Finance and Administration have agreed to a worldwide initiative of The United Methodist Church with a Miracle Sunday Offering in all local churches on May 17, 2026 or at such later date as agreed by the respective Bishop and annual conference.
