Although we are taught from a young age to spread kindness, this core value can often be overlooked—especially when it comes to sensitive topics like politics and identity, which can spark discomfort and controversy. Resurrection, a United Methodist Church, seeks to remind us of the power of leading with love, even in difficult times, through its biennial Campaign for Kindness.

These campaigns are designed not only to ignite a passion for kindness in our everyday lives but also to equip churches, organizations, individuals, and influencers with resources to join the broader kindness movement. Our hope is that each campaign will inspire unity, foster transformation, and encourage the building of communities grounded in compassion and mutual respect.

The 2024 Kindness Campaign theme was Do Unto Others. Do Unto Others is a grassroots movement launched by Resurrection, a United Methodist Church in the Kansas City area, to encourage people to be intentional about treating one another with kindness, even those with whom we disagree. A vote for kindness is a step toward overcoming the polarization in our country through civility and respect.
