Connectional Funding
Local Church Contributions
Every local church within the Global Methodist Church is called to contribute financially to support ministries that extend beyond the local church. These contributions are facilitated through two types of connectional funding. Here’s how they are computed:
FOR GENERAL CHURCH
Select a fixed percentage not exceeding 1.5% of the previous year’s local church operating income.
Divide this percentage by 12 to calculate your monthly remittance payable to the General Church.
FOR ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Select a fixed percentage between 1-5% of the previous year’s local church operating income.
Divide this percentage by 12 to calculate your monthly remittance payable to the annual conference.
