The United Methodist Rural Fellowship is a United Methodist lobbying group that deals directly with issues that relate to small membership churches, rural communities, and local pastors. UMRF is a tax-exempt organization. Following the 2012 General Conference, we will change our name to UMRA or United Methodist Rural Advocates. More on this, see Name Change.
