Disciples Mission Fund

DMF provides operational funds for the Christian Church in West Virginia and General Units serving God in the USA and around the world. DMF funds come from our congregations who contribute from their outreach budgets and designated giving.

These are sent to the Church Finance Council.

Because we support DMF we make it possible for the Christian Church in West Virginia to serve our congregations through:

· Women’s, Men’s and Youth Programs

· Resources for Congregational Vitality

· Search and Call Assistance and Interim Ministries

· Regional and Ecumenical Outreach in WV

How are giving dollars used?

· 60% of your church’s giving to Disciples Mission Fund comes back to the region to fund ongoing operations and program.

· 100% of your church’s giving to the Christmas offering remains in the region for operations and program.

· 50% of a your church’s giving to the Pentecost offering comes back to the region to fund congregation revitalization and new church starts.

· Your church’s giving to the Thanksgiving offering is divided between Disciple institutions of higher education across the country and benefits institutions in our area, including Bethany College and Lexington Theological Seminary.

· Your church’s giving to the Easter offering benefits the General Ministries of our denomination.
