Fossil Free UMC

Fossil Free UMC is a movement of United Methodists who recognize that it is wrong for The United Methodist Church to profit from wrecking the planet. Indeed, profiting from fossil fuel companies undermines the very ministries that our investments are meant to support.

Fossil Free UMC’s mission is to convince UMC Annual Conferences and Wespath (the pension and health benefits agency of the United Methodist Church) to divest from fossil fuel companies and to reinvest in clean energy companies, and to add coal, petroleum and natural gas to the list of socially responsible investment screens in the Book of Discipline and Book of Resolutions.
