Purpose of the United Methodist Men

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 and support for 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 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,

jurisdiction and church-wide goals.

Men seeking membership in a local United Methodist Men's fellowship

shall suscribe to the "Purpose" of United Methodist Men

and to these personal objectivbes:

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.
