MSC Ecumenical Partners

The Mountain Sky Conference engages in community, ecumenical, and interfaith partnerships to mutually strengthen ministries and initiatives. These include state-wide coalitions, associations and community organizations we relate to as a result of the relationships from our legacy conferences. Some of these organizations have deep United Methodist roots. The United Methodist Mountain Sky Conference shares many common values and initiatives, including but not limited to the elimination of racism, gender equality, justice topics, creation care, services to children and youth, and so much more.

We invite you to learn about these organizations and explore our common interests and work. Most offer additional leadership, topical resources and host events to enhance our common understanding, identify needs and facilitate collaboration. Many welcome volunteers. Contact the specific organization to find out what kind of volunteer projects they might have.
