United Methodist Men
Purpose
A United Methodist Church's men's ministry provides a place where men become "brothers in Christ." As they become friends, followers, and fishermen, they become servant leaders in their homes, churches and communities. We equip men of all ages to have significant relationships with one another spanning generations, race, social class and other barriers. As we become servant leaders together, the witness of the United Methodist Men is strengthened.
Individual and group strategies form the foundation of UMMen ministry:
- Enhance Evangelism, Mission and Spiritual Life (EMS), as men become servant leaders.
- Advocate programs that train men within the church to promote specific ministries, including prayer, missions, stewardship and Civic/Youth Serving Ministries.
- Forge pastoral partnerships by men committed to the effective support and service of the clergy and congregation.
- Enhance organizational strength through effective leadership, resources, membership growth and financial accountability.
- Assist men in their ever-changing relationships, roles and responsibilities in the family, workplace and society.
- Understand the organization, doctrines and beliefs of the United Methodist Church.
- Fulfill the membership vows through commitment to prayer, presence, gifts and service in the life of our congregation.
- Fulfill the Great Commission with and through the United Methodist Church as one part of the Body of Christ.
