PARTNERS IN MINISTRY RECOGNIZED
Partners In Ministry was approved on March 31, 2019, to become the first and only National Mission Institution in the North Carolina Conference.
Partners in Ministry (PIM), now a National Mission Institution of the United Methodist Women after 12 years of serving children, youth, seniors, disabled and otherwise marginalized families throughout the Gateway District. Collaborates ecumenically with churches, conferences, work teams, missionaries and faithful servants of God to improve the quality of life for thousands of people and their families. The reach of our ministry goes far beyond the Gateway District and even the North Carolina Conference as we unite with servants from across the country to impact the lives of entire communities.
Headquartered in Scotland County, North Carolina this ministry started as a vision of Bishop Leonard Fairley and the Executive Director, Dr. Melba McCallum, Deaconess. The success of the organization has rested on partnering with the public schools, departments of social services, local hospitals, banking institutions, local and state government officials as well as individual servants who were seeking a “feeding ground for ministry” that they could use to touch the lives of the least of God’s people and make a difference.
Hope is the most precious gift that Partners In Ministry shares with those we are serving. As we offer a “hand-up” instead of a “hand-out” daily through mission and ministry. we hear the testimonies of countless people whose lives have been transformed because Partners In Ministry has restored their faith in God and the servants of God.
