What is United Methodist Student Day?

United Methodist Student Day is one of six churchwide Special Sundays designated to support ministries and causes important to the entire United Methodist Church. On this day, we come together to invest in the future of our church by supporting students’ education and their journey of faith.

Education opens doors and creates opportunities for leadership, service, and faith development. By supporting United Methodist Student Day, we celebrate the power of learning and the important role education plays in developing faithful, thoughtful Christian leaders. This special Sunday reminds us that education is not only a personal achievement—it’s a ministry we share together.

Why Does It Matter?

Education shapes the leaders who will guide the Church and serve communities in many ways. Yet, many students connected to The United Methodist Church face financial obstacles to pursuing college or graduate degrees.

United Methodist Student Day matters because it provides scholarships that help remove those barriers. By supporting this Special Sunday, we invest in students preparing for careers in ministry, service, and beyond—equipping them to lead with faith, wisdom, and compassion.

When we give on United Methodist Student Day, we’re building a stronger Church and empowering the next generation to carry forward God’s work in new and meaningful ways.

Support the Ministry

Give through the offering envelopes in the gathering space or donate online here.

What Does My Giving Support?

Special Sundays give us a chance to focus our prayers and support on important ministries all year long—uniting our gifts to multiply our impact. Every dollar given on United Methodist Student Day goes directly to scholarships for United Methodist students. These funds support a diverse group—from those preparing for ordained ministry to others pursuing professions that serve their communities. Your generosity removes financial obstacles and opens doors for future leaders to answer their call.

When Is United Methodist Student Day Celebrated?

our Church will be observing United Methodist Student Day on May 14 feel free to give a special offering that day, or any of the days that follow.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful

And kindle in them the fire of your love.

OPENING PRAYER

God our creator,

We give you thanks for those who have mothers for us.

Help us inherit from them that which will make us more fully your people.

Where they have offered us blessings of love,

May we incorporate those gifts into our lives.

Where they have hurt us or fallen short of our expectations,

May we learn from them,

That we might not repeat their mistakes.

May the honor we convey toward our mothers

Reflect the honor that we feel toward you. Amen
