Join Us for the UMC Annual Conference Giving
Perkins School of Theology has taken a more strategic approach to Annual Conference engagement. We remain committed to strengthening connections across all United Methodist conferences and look forward to being with those not on this year’s schedule in the near future.
During this Annual Conference season, we invite you to support the next generation of ministry leaders through the Dean’s Fellowship Scholarships. Our goal is to raise $10,000 across our conference visits to provide critical financial support for students pursuing theological education at Perkins in Dallas.
Your gift makes a direct impact—helping remove financial barriers and equipping students for faithful leadership in the church and world.
If you are unable to connect with us in person, you can still participate by making a gift online.
