The United Methodist Men shall be a creative
supportive fellowship of men who seek to know Jesus Christ, to grow spiritually
and to seek daily His will. Our primary purpose is to declare the
centrality of Christ in the lives of men and in all their relationships.
The major concerns are:
-
To encourage knowledge of and support the total
mission of The United Methodist Church.
-
To engage in evangelism by sharing the fullness
of the gospel in its personal and social dimensions
-
To clarify and speak to the identity and role
of the man in contemporary society
-
To seek commitment to discipleship
-
To study and become familiar with The United Methodist
Church, its organization, doctrines and beliefs
-
To cooperate with all units of United Methodist
Men in obtaining these objectives through district, conference, jurisdictional
and church wide goals.
Men seeking membership in a local United Methodist
Men's Fellowship shall subscribe to the "Purpose" of United Methodist Men
and to these personal objectives:
-
Engage daily in Bible study and prayer.
-
Bear witness to Christ's way in daily work and
in all personal contacts through words and actions
-
engage in some definite Christian service The
Book of Discipline, The United Methodist Church.
The organization provides a place where men can
fellowship with other men in the local church and grow in their faith.
United Methodist Men seek to serve the church, the community, and the world.
