Free Methodist Church – USA

Welcome!

Through our partnership with the National Association of Evangelicals and FM Financial, we are able to generously offer our pastoral leaders the following grant-funded Financial Health resources.

This grant is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. As of June 11, 2024, all new applicants will be placed on a wait list for the Financial Training Grant. However, the good news is that even if you aren’t able to receive the grant funding, all of the training provided is available to you at no charge, including a connection with a FM Financial Advisor. You may also use any of the resources provided for your church or pass them on to family and friends.

Thank you for your interest, and for your service to God through the Free Methodist Church. Remember, FM Financial and the FMCUSA are here to help you. Feel free to reach out any time!
