UMCmarket has partnered with hundreds of online stores that will donate a portion of your purchase back to Aldersgate! This secure, online shopping program is an easy way for you and your friends and family to support the mission and ministries of our church. At UMCmarket, you can choose to shop from stores in many different categories! Each store donates a different percentage back to our church, some as high at 11%!
