Apportionments are the way that congregations are connected to the Dakotas Annual Conference and the world. Connectional Giving demonstrates our connectedness to one another, to God and to the body of Christ. The basic idea behind apportionments is that local congregations send some of the money they collect to the Conference so that we, as a global church, can accomplish things that are either beyond their ability to do as individual congregations or that can be done more effectively or efficiently together. Please see the article below that summarizes what your apportionments dollars help support within the Dakotas Annual Conference: Connection in Action: Apportionments extend shared mission and ministry - Dakotas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church
