General Administration Fund
This fund supports those parts of the United Methodist Church that are largely administrative. The largest portion of this fund supports the General Conference and the production of the Book of Discipline. Another part of this fund is for the Judicial Council, the final court of appeal and the Supreme Court for United Methodists.
The General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA) is supported by this fund. GCFA is the bookkeeper and statistician for the denomination. It also maintains a legal staff to help conferences with specific questions of law, a risk-management department to help us prevent problems.
The General Administration also supports the Commission on Archives and History. Official United Methodist documents and historical artifacts are maintained. Historical landmarks, shrines and sites are designated.
