United Methodist Men

Our mission is to support spiritual growth among men, helping men to mature as disciples as they encourage spiritual formation in others.

Our goal is to empower the ministry of Jesus Christ through men within the congregations of the UMC.

Our pathway is a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth to maturity as Christ followers. Our spiritual formation is marked by spiritual reproduction, as our faith passes on in others.

In May 2022, the General Commission on United Methodist Men (GCUMM) introduced a “modern way” of doing men’s ministry. Greg Arnold, General Secretary & CEO, said we are approaching men’s and scouting ministry with a much larger and more modern vision. The Commission has re-imaged how men’s and scouting ministry can be effectively offered, packaged, and distributed to the church and world around us.

 Launching a new program and brand, “United Men’s Ministry”, along with several innovative products is quite an ambitious undertaking during a time of uncertainty within the UMC. “Our vision is to offer a credible resource which meets men and youth where they are. Discipleship has been the focus of the church for 2000 years and cannot take a back seat to the current administrative discussions of the church.”

Arnold says, “The older chartering model has been showing a steady decline over the past several years and placing its effectiveness in question. We’ll continue to offer the chartering model of service according to our book of discipline mandate; however, we’re adding these new and exciting ways to serve the men, youth, and families of the church.”

 UNITED Men’s Ministry is an innovative online resource providing an easy-to-follow package of resources including leader coaching, online learning, support, topical studies, connection, and more. Look for more about this new ministry program soon!

 

The United Methodist Men meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month at Eat N' Park on Patteson Drive, Morgantown at 6:00PM. Please check the calendar for changes to the schedule.
