Online Payments
The Conference now offers a greatly expanded online payment capability! This service will allow churches and individuals to submit payments electronically, instead of mailing checks to the Conference Center.
Separate webpages have been set-up as indicated by the sections below.
Camping & Retreat Ministries - Bishop's Initiative
As witnessed at the 2017 Annual Conference, Bishop Moore-Koikoi’s initiative to raise $5 million, over the next 4 years, for conference camping and retreat ministries was received with overwhelming acceptance and generosity. This site has been established as one avenue to financially support this strategic undertaking.
Individuals and organizations external to WPAUMC can make an online contribution using their bank account or credit card by clicking the brown button below; Individuals affiliated with WPAUMC should give through their local church. Churches can also contribute online; however, they should continue to use the Local Church Remittances page.
Conference Special Appeal – At The Lake Ministries
At The Lake Ministries is faithfully dedicated to offering our brothers and sisters in Christ who live with a disability a space in which to foster relationships and build community through faith-based, specialized fishing experiences on Lake Erie. This site has been established to financially support the development of this new fishing ministry and refurbish our vessel, JoAnn M. We can’t do this without the support of the WPAUMC Congregations.

Pension & Healthcare Payments
The Conference issued blue Pension & Healthcare invoices will continue to be distributed as they are today. However, churches and individuals may now pay those invoices by establishing an electronic funds transfer from a checking or savings account.
UMPIP contributions (payroll deductions) cannot be paid through this system. Please continue to remit UMPIP contributions directly to the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits
