Mark your calendars for Friday, May 19, 2023! We hope you'll join us for this year's Bishops' Club Luncheon at Camp Aldersgate.

The annual Perkins Summit for Faith and Learning offers a wide range of theological mini-courses for laypersons, community leaders and clergy. Somewhere between seminary and Sunday School, Summit leverages the rich learning community of Perkins School of Theology to provide a unique, self-paced experience in theological education—for the church and world.

The Foundation is delighted to announce a new resource for local churches! Planning a Legacy is a holistic estate planning seminar that covers important matters for all adults.

I am so excited to share with you the amazing work that MFA grant recipient, Project Transformation is doing in Arkansas. It just completed its inaugural year of camp serving over 55 children in the Pine Bluff area.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Seminary Scholarship Fund, the Foundation hosted dinner for our scholars and donors on Friday, October 14 at Cypress Social in North Little Rock.

The Foundation hosted the 10th annual Arkansas United Methodist Lawyers Conference on September 15, 2022, at Pulaski Heights UMC in Little Rock. The legal education event is free to Arkansas Methodist attorneys and covers subjects relevant to their work representing churches and congregations.

There was a lot to celebrate at our 2022 Bishops’ Club Luncheon! The theme of spring, planting seeds, and new life was palpable during our May 13 gathering at Highland Valley United Methodist Church in Little Rock. A record attendance crowd heard from featured speaker Ellis Arnold, President of Hendrix College; had the opportunity to visit with several grant recipients; and were introduced to over a dozen of our Seminary Scholarship recipients.

The Methodist Foundation for Arkansas is proud to give $52,000 in scholarships to 52 students receiving 2022 Dollars for Scholars awards to begin or continue their education at United Methodist colleges, universities, and seminaries.

The Methodist Foundation for Arkansas is committed to providing funding for events and continuing education opportunities that provide congregational members with new and innovative approaches to leadership in a local congregation.
