This week, we highlight the Basic Ministry Budget.
The operating budget for Plainfield United Methodist Church is more than line items on a spreadsheet. It’s a story of love in action. PUMC uses gifts to the budget to show God’s BIG Love and help others grow in faith.
Out of every dollar you generously give to support the Basic Ministry Budget, 7 cents of it supports adult discipleship.

God’s House: $217,318

Our digital exterior signage, new carpet, and main lobby refresh aim to make guests and members alike feel welcome and at home. Our classrooms are filled with children, small groups, committees, mission teams, pastors, and staff. Our full-sized kitchen is a hub for
