By Melissa Blakely, Methodist Foundation of Mississippi

Over the next few months, you will notice a new look and a new name for the foundation. We are your local resource for Christ-centered giving, investing; and financial and stewardship education and management. Some of you may remember us as the “The Methodist Foundation” when we began our journey in Mississippi over 50 years ago. We are formally becoming the Methodist Foundation of Mississippi. As United Methodists are part of a larger family, we seek to embrace the whole Methodist family within the state of Mississippi. Our relationship with the Mississippi Conference remains the same, as will our legal and IRS status. Our new look will help us faithfully serve all churches, individuals and organizations with Methodist heritage in Mississippi. We will continue to support all Mississippi Methodists in their mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ through the personal service for which we are known. Our new logo features the cross of Christ imposed on the world. The outward-facing arrows symbolize our work of supporting you in taking Jesus into all the world undergirded by the Holy Spirit represented by the center space. We look forward to continuing ministry with you in our common mission. We invite you to continue this journey with us.
