What Is Miracle Sunday? On May 17, 2026, we will join United Methodist Churches from all over the world in a one-time, denomination-wide special offering to support The Endowment for Theological Education outside the United States.
This offering addresses a critical and growing disparity within the global church:
More than 71% of U.S. clergy hold a theological degree, while fewer than 5% of clergy outside the U.S. have access to the same level of education.
Gifts received through Miracle Sunday will help close the gap in theological education for emerging pastors in Africa, Europe, and the Philippines, strengthening local leadership and expanding the church’s capacity for faithful, contextual ministry.
