Connect Globally

People in Partnership programs invite United Church people to participate in the global mission of the church in many different ways. You might host a global partner in your community, plan and participate in an exposure visit in another country, consider overseas service, build a long-term relationship with a global partner organization or explore Mission and Service global partner realities through participation in a specific project. These opportunities all offer ways to deepen faith, experience cultural diversity, and strengthen commitment to global justice issues.
