Join us in supporting the transformative ministry of Lydia Patterson.

The South Central Jurisdiction of United Methodist Foundations has joined together in a spirit of unity to promote and support the life-changing ministry of Lydia Patterson Institute (LPI).

As part of our collective commitment to Christian education and cross-cultural impact, the United Methodist Foundation of Louisiana is working alongside the South Central Jurisdiction Foundations to raise awareness and invite donations to LPI funds held in each state. This shared effort reflects our belief that together, we can strengthen ministries that bridge cultures, nurture faith, and prepare future leaders.
