Native American Ministries Sunday

Join Ruth Bowen for a prayer for Native American Ministries Sunday and learn a little about this special day and why it's an important day in the life of the church.

What is Native American Ministries Sunday?
Native American Ministries Sunday is one of six churchwide Special Sundays with offerings of The United Methodist Church. Native American Ministries Sunday serves to remind United Methodists of the gifts and contributions made by Native Americans to our society. On this day, we collect a special offering that supports Native American outreach within annual conferences and across the United States and provides seminary scholarships for Native Americans.

When do we celebrate Native American Ministries Sunday?
United Methodists celebrate Native American Ministries Sunday on the Third Sunday of Easter.

Can our church celebrate Native American Ministries Sunday at a different time?
Yes! If a local church needs to celebrate a Special Sunday on a different date, that is fine!
