Fueling the Future of Ministry Today

SERVE

We believe all are called to be servant ministers and UMFI lives out this calling by serving the clergy, congregations and agencies within the Indiana Annual Conference.

ASSIST

We believe in supporting and resourcing United Methodist churches to make disciples for Christ for the transformation of the world.

MANAGE

We believe in our churches and know that helping them establish and maintain the financial resources necessary to achieve their missions is one of God’s challenges to the UMFI. Learn more

DEVELOP

We believe connecting people who have a desire to support ministry with ministries that are changing lives and making disciples for Christ is a fundamental calling for UMFI. Learn more
