CI-PNW Mission Statement Our target population includes youth and young adults of immigrant Filipino and Filipino American families within the United Methodist Church— to strengthen and support our youth as they become leaders. CI-PNW is open to ALL who are seeking Jesus Christ, spiritual guidance, acceptance, and fellowship.

  4. The Vision of CI-PNW… CHRISTMAS INSTITUTE is held every year from DECEMBER 26 - 30. To know Jesus Christ,and make Him known... To fellowship with other believers… To mature in our faith... To link our cultural identities with faith in action...

  5. The Roots of CI… Christmas Institute originated in the Philippines in 1921. Since then, youth and young adults throughout the Philippines have gathered each year to discuss issues relevant to young people living in faith, and to build and strengthen young leaders within the United Methodist Church.

  6. Bringing “CI” to the U.S.A… Christmas Institute was adapted into the United States in 1981, with the support of the National Association of Filipino American United Methodists. Following the model of CI in the Philippines, youth and young adults in the U.S. could also experience a UMC camp that would address faith issues within an atmosphere that intentionally acknowledged Filipino identity and heritage.

  7. CI continues to expand… The following UMC Annual Conferences or Jurisdictions currently have a Christmas Institute… California - Pacific California - Nevada Pacific Northwest South Central Northeast Southeast North Central Jurisdiction More stateside CI locations are in the works, through the efforts of NAFAUM’s paglago, which means “growth.”

  8. CI in the Pacific Northwest CI-PNW has been around since 1999... Through the guidance and direction of our Filipino clergy appointed in the Pacific Northwest Annual Conference, Christmas Institute has blossomed from its support from the PNWAC Ethnic and Multicultural Ministries, and local churches such as… Ronald UMC (Shoreline, WA) Beacon UMC (Seattle, WA) and the Filipino Ministry at Silverdale UMC (Silverdale, WA)
