Welcome
The United Methodist Society of Martha's Vineyard, Inc. welcomes you to our website.
Mission Statement
- To provide a coherent and shared witness for United Methodism on the Island.
- To strengthen existing ministries and develop new programs for outreach, evangelism and social justice for all ages.
- To provide and foster fellowship and educational opportunities among United Methodists on Martha's Vineyard.
Organization
The United Methodist Society of Martha’s Vineyard, Inc. Board is composed of the pastors, retired clergy and lay representatives from each of the four churches. The Board reviews and coordinates projects proposed by the individual churches or the Island Methodists Exploring Cooperation (IMEC) Steering Committee, envisioning future needs, approving funding and overseeing the carrying out of these projects.
Purpose
Sensing the strong need for a body that would provide a coherent and common witness for the United Methodist Church on Martha’s Vineyard, the United Methodist Society allows us to do together what we cannot now do separately. It supports and strengthens the programs for outreach, evangelism, and social justice for greater Methodist visibility on Martha’s Vineyard.
