For centuries Native Americans have shared their love of God\u2019s creation, their respect for all people, and their desire to live peacefully. In 1988 to honor that rich heritage, the United Methodist General Conference chose to designate an annual special Sunday to focus on <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-11248\" src=\"https:\/\/pitmanumc.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Native-American-Ministries-Logo-_400x475-253x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pitmanumc.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Native-American-Ministries-Logo-_400x475-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/pitmanumc.org\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Native-American-Ministries-Logo-_400x475.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 155px) 100vw, 155px\" \/>Native American Ministries and to remind us of the gifts and contributions of Native Americans. There are more than 500 Native American Tribal Nations in the United States. Each tribe has a unique heritage in danger of being lost if we don\u2019t help protect and preserve Native American arts, language, customs, and spirituality.<\/p>\n<p>There are no conditions to being a child of God. Celebrating Native American Ministries is our opportunity to affirm some of God\u2019s children. The United Methodist Church feels strongly that contributions made by Native Americans to our church should be cherished, and that all United Methodists should support and promote this important ministry. United Methodist Shared Ministry funds provide scholarships for Native American UM seminarians, plant Native American UM churches, and cultivate outreach programs to initiate and sustain ministries in Native American communities throughout the United States.
