Giving in United Methodist Church Hits Record Highs

United Methodists are giving more generously than ever before, according to new figures reported to Monday by the denomination’s General Council on Finance and Administration.

"We celebrate the overwhelming generosity of the people of The United Methodist Church," said Sandra K. Lackore, general secretary and treasurer of the Council.

Statistics from 2005 showed that United Methodists gave $85 million more than 2004, which translates to a 53.6 percent increase in offering over the last year.
