As the accountable designated giving program of The United Methodist Church, The Advance serves as the leading conduit that allows churches, individuals and organizations to support missionaries and projects throughout the world in order to strengthen and sustain one another.
Advance funds are specifically designated for particular projects or ministries, allowing the Church to advance the cause of Christ through new church development, disaster relief, missionary support, health services, and many other programs.
Your congregation chooses to partner with an existing project or ministry. Because other donations cover overhead costs, 100% of every gift to the Advance goes to the ministry designated.
The Advance for Christ and His Church (The Advance) is the United Methodist program for designated mission giving. The Northern Illinois Conference Global Board of Ministry has organized the options for giving through The Advance in our Mission Links program book. In Matthew 5: 1-12, Jesus offers a portrait of the ways in which it is possible to be a good person with respect to others within the eight categories of the beatitudes.
Each project in the Mission Links book connects to at least one of the beatitudes – and NIC’s direct call to action in response to Jesus’ words.
