Outreach

Working together to spread the gospel through Independent Methodists - coast to coast and around the world - the Association supports the following efforts:

Church Planting Program

Voluntary gifts from churches and from individuals made to the Church Planting Fund help underwrite the start-up costs of new congregations.

Small Church Support Program

AIM recognizes that a church may experience financial hardships. Through the Small Church Support Program, the Association calls other churches and individuals to contribute to a pastor's salary on a short term basis

AIM Crusaders Program

Each year the Association may be faced with a number of needs or projects for which no funds are budgeted. The AIM Crusaders Program raises those funds through volunteers who agree to be called upon (a maximum of four times during one year) for prayer and for a specified amount.

Foreign Missions

We are presently partnering with two other like-minded groups for focused ministry in the country of Belize.  Our goal is to establish a national church in Belize with national leadership.  This will be done by planting additional churches, training pastors and leaders, and increasing the Christian School program.

We also use World Gospel Mission as an approved missionary serving agency.

Spreading the gospel to all the world is our mandate.

Wesley Biblical Seminary

This fully accredited seminary, located in Jackson, Mississippi, has AIM's endorsement as the best seminary for preparation of our people. Founded by AIM in 1974, today WBS operates under an interdenominational charter in order to serve all churches that follow the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition.

Kentucky Mountain Bible College

Kentucky Mountain Bible College, located in Vancleve, Kentucky, has the endorsement of the Association of Independent Methodists as the Christian college of choice for all our high school graduates and especially our people who are preparing for ministry.
