     The Community Ministries Unit assists local churches, cooperative ministries that bring peace and justice to their communities and in accompanying persons on their journeys toward social, economic, cultural and spiritual wholeness. Through training and leadership development, networking, funding and technical assistance, human suffering is alleviated, models of ministry are shared, collaboration is enhanced, congregations and communities are transformed, and "the least of these" are affirmed as equal partners in Gods mission.

Community Ministries' programs include:

• Urban Ministries
• Town & Country Ministries
• Ministries With Women, Children & Families
• Community Developers Program
• United Methodist Voluntary Service
• Program On Substance Abuse & Related Violence
• Communities of Shalom
• Community Economic Development
