Marshall United Methodist Church

OUR COOPERATIVE PARRISH

 

Effective July 1, 2016, the Linden/Markham/Marshall Cooperative Parish was formed by the Winchester District of the United Methodist Church. A cooperative parish is a form of mutual cooperation between two or more United Methodist congregations in a community as a means of creating greater effectiveness in the nurture, outreach, and witness ministries of urban, suburban, and town-and-country situations. Cooperative ministry enhances and builds up the identity and strength of local churches.  Cooperative ministry affirms the value of all congregations, both large and small.  Cooperative ministry helps churches move beyond maintenance to strong ministries of witness and outreach in their communities.​
