United Methodists of Greater NJ are in the final year of a three-year campaign to transform lives

Initially, we set a goal of $5.2 million to nurture young in their discipleship journey, develop 100 Hope Centers to address needs in our communities, support our partnership with Tanzania by launching a Pastor’s School and providing relief and recovery to those affected by hurricanes.  In 2020, we raised our goal $6,200,000 to address emerging needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

GNJ invites individuals, foundations and local churches to participate in this campaign to grow disciples and leaders in GNJ, assist the marginalized in GNJ communities, rebuild from natural disasters in Puerto Rico, and support new clergy in Tanzania
