UMVIM Purpose Statement
The purpose of the Oregon-Idaho United Methodist Volunteers (UMVIM) in Mission Program is to facilitate the sharing of the love of Jesus Christ with integrity and faithfulness.

A UMVIM team will offer a learning/serving experience in which the volunteers practice the UMVIM theme of "Christian Love in Action", while respecting the culture, beliefs and traditions of the people hosting the mission team. A commitment to learn and to celebrate cultural differences and to build community and relationships of inclusiveness are crucial to a positive experience for both the Volunteers and those at the host site.

Church Opportunities: Receiving UMVIM Teams
Does your church need a facelift; uplift; a helping hand? An UMVIM team at your church and in your community may mutually enhance your church and the visiting team. Have you considered reaching out to surrounding community agencies to see if an UMVIM team might be of some assistance in your efforts to be of service with your community? Help may be an email/phone call away. You may be the link that enables much needed assistance to be made available. Help connect the connection!

Why Pastors Need to Go on UMVIM Teams
Why being personally involved in mission is so incredibly important for clergy, and what difference it makes to preaching, teaching, membership, worship attendance, tithing, apportionments, and all the nitty-gritty stuff.

Why volunteer?
Learn more about becoming a volunteer and how this "grass roots" organization gave direction and impetus to the volunteer effort in the United Methodist Church.

Volunteer Data Base
