Rethink Church launches new advertising campaign
Video clips feature real-life UMC members living out their faith

On May 11, RETHINK CHURCH will launch a new advertising campaign. This series of spots features real-life United Methodist Church members living out their faith by putting their beliefs into action: both inside the church building and out in the world. Re-enacting situations based on their personal stories of transformation through the Church, our cast helps us authentically bring to life the Wesleyan-inspired concept of church.
Learn more about Rethink Church's new advertising campaign.
