United Methodist Volunteers in Mission (UMVIM) is a fellowship of believers, lay and clergy, men and women, adults and youth, who step out in faith to serve the needs of communities around the world and around the corner. The common characteristic of a UMVIM team member is a desire to serve others and a willingness to share the Gospel as part of a work team, medical team, or as individual volunteers.
If you're ready to take your leadership skills to the next level, UMVIM team leader trainings have been scheduled to prepare volunteers to lead Mission Teams.
