Horizons Stewardship Partnership: An Exciting New Chapter for MUMC
MUMC has contracted with Horizons Stewardship, a leading church stewardship consulting firm that has helped more than 10,000 churches and faith-based organizations raise over $9 billion since 1992.


Horizons was recommended by MUMC’s Stewardship and Generosity Task Force (SGTF) after interviewing representatives from three leading firms. The recommendation was approved by the Administrative Council at its September meeting. The task force was particularly impressed by Horizons’ United Methodist roots and theological understanding, along with its emphasis on growing and deepening Christian discipleship.


We will be working with Rev. Dr. Norma Quinn, Certified Fund-Raising Executive (CFRE), who will serve as our consultant and coach through March, followed by an ongoing supportive relationship.


The entire cost of our contract ($31,500 plus travel expenses) is being covered by members of the SGTF who felt led to contribute personally, believing deeply that this partnership will further our mission to lead all on a path of Christ-centered discipleship while nurturing a culture of stewardship and generosity. Everyone is invited to be part of this exciting new chapter for MUMC!


More information was included in your third-quarter giving statement letter, which was mailed the week of November 2nd. To watch a brief two-minute video and learn more about Horizons Stewardship and our consultant, Norma Quinn, visit www.horizons.net/about.
