Description
Mustard Seed Migration Grants support community-based service projects and ministries that welcome migrants and refugees. Through UMCOR’s program, United Methodist churches in the United States are encouraged to engage with migrants and refugees living in their communities, giving practical expression to the call to “welcome the stranger.” The focus is on local ministry and service with these neighbors.
The General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) lists the program within its shared grants work with Global Ministries. That broader work supports education, leadership development, mission engagement, and local ministry across The United Methodist Church, while Mustard Seed Migration Grants specifically support community-based engagement with migrants and refugees.
