MN UM Builders

The mission of the MN UM Builders is to serve Minnesota United Methodist Churches by assisting them in connecting with their community and welcoming new people.   

Funds are provided through our semi-annual grants as well as loans for projects such as signage, technology, community gardens, welcoming spaces, accessibility and playgrounds.
