According to the General Board of Global Ministries, the Advance is an accountable, designated giving arm of The United Methodist Church that ensures 100% of each gift is used for its intended mission or ministry. The program was created as a way to allow United Methodists, as well as other interested individuals to contribute to specific programs, missionaries, and ministries. Advance giving is often called "second-mile giving" because it goes beyond the "first mile" of contributing to apportionments and World Service Funds.

This is one more opportunity for you to support this organization. 100% of your gift comes directly to United Methodist Community House to help support the children, youth, adults and seniors who come here daily.

You can donate in any of the follow ways: online, through the use of our donation form, through your United Methodist Church, by phone (616)452-3226, or by mail.
