Welcome to the United Methodist Rural Advocates Page!
Our Mission: To be an advocate for the work of Jesus Christ in rural town and country communities.
The United Methodist Rural Advocates is a United Methodist lay and clergy association that deals directly with issues that relate to small membership churches, rural communities, and local pastors. UMRA is a tax-exempt organization. Following the 2012 General Conference, we changed our name from UMRF, United Methodist Rural Fellowship, to UMRA or United Methodist Rural Advocates.
