Giving Streams ... how it works

Acting upon our connectional value, Free Methodist churches in Canada - together - support a number of ministry areas that maximize our impact beyond our local churches. Each church, at the local level, decides what contributions will be made and where those funds will be directed. These "together" ministries allow our influence to expand throughout Canada and beyond.
