WMP have launched our new Mission Service grant, which supports Irish Methodists to serve in mission overseas.

In the past, Irish Methodists could serve with the Mission Partner Programme which is managed by the Methodist Church in Britain. Changes announced in 2023 mean that lay people are no longer able to serve through this programme.

However, the Methodist Church in Ireland remains committed to supporting both lay and ordained people to serve in mission overseas. The Mission Service grant is designed to provide this support by helping Irish Methodists to serve with other churches and mission agencies.

What does the Mission Service grant offer?

The grant offers financial support toward the cost of serving overseas.

Who does the grant support?

The grant supports Irish Methodists (or people with a close connection to the Methodist Church in Ireland) who are serving with an appropriate organisation.

What is an “appropriate” organisation?

A church or mission agency which is in agreement with MCI’s Statement of Faith, and which shares our ethos and values for mission.

How can I find out more?
