Board of Church and Society

The Virginia Conference Board of Church and Society engages local congregations to implement the Social Principles of The United Methodist Church throughout the conference. This work is guided by three working groups.

Peace and Nonviolence – leads the conference in addressing conflicts and violence in our local communities, state, and world. 

Creation Justice – connects and supports groups within the conference and beyond for the work of creation, care, justice and regeneration.

Addressing Poverty – supports work across the conference and beyond to alleviate poverty through works of mercy and advocating for meaningful and transformative policies in the state.
