Our Mission:

The Palestine Task Force* was established in 2007 by the California-Nevada Annual Conference Board of Missions.  Founding members, deeply affected by experiences in Palestine, were called to live out their Christian witness by working through the Conference to achieve a just, comprehensive and enduring peace informed by truth and empowered by prayer and action.
* formerly known as Israel/Palestine Task Force

What we do:

The Palestine Task Force seeks to empower United Methodists and congregations of the California-Nevada Annual Conference to walk in faith and love as partners with our brothers and sisters in Palestine. With them we resist the Israeli military occupation of their land and work for justice and peace for all people in the Holy Land.
