OUR MINISTRY
If you have ever wondered what the United Methodist Association of Communicators (UMAC) is, and who are its members, then look no further.
​
We are communicators, connectors, public relations gurus, news reporters, social media mavens, photographers, digital heroes and collectively the lead storytellers of The United Methodist Church.
As an organization, we are a professional association geared to support the work of every United Methodist communicator serving the Church throughout the connection through resources, engagement, continuing education, sharing of ideas, networking, spiritual support, and more.
​
Through our connectional nature and shared purpose, we continue to learn from each other new ways to share the story of the vast ministries at the heart of the mission and vision of The United Methodist Church in every corner of the world — from Portland, Oregon, to Miami, Florida, from Los Angeles to New York, from Minneapolis to Montgomery, Alabama, from the Philippines to Zimbabwe, and beyond. Around the world, our members are helping to connect churches and people, as well as those who are seeking a new faith community, to learn and understand the message and people of The United Methodist Church.
Our Mission
We believe that effective communication is essential to the mission of the church. Our goal is to provide resources and support to United Methodist communicators around the world so that they can share the good news of God's love with their communities. We offer training, networking opportunities, and access to the latest tools and technologies to help our members succeed in their work.
