Basic
Support
Our
Church's Wider Mission Basic Support provides funding for the work of UCC
Conferences and for the work of the UCC's national ministries. Each congregation
decides how much of its members' financial support it will contribute to Our
Church's Wider Mission Basic Support. Congregations send their OCWM gifts to the
Conference. Each Conference decides what percentage of those gifts to keep for
the work of that particular Conference, and what percentage it will send to the
national setting of the UCC. Some of the National Basic Support money is used
for ministries to Conferences, local churches and members, as well as for
ecumenical, prophetic and missionary ministries on behalf of the UCC.
Contributions from individuals to their congregations comprise the funds
from which OCWM Basic Support is given to the Conferences and national
ministries. Local churches can help individuals understand the mission and work
of the denomination.
