We are glad you are attending our Church. By coming to church, you have taken the first step. Another step we hope you will consider is becoming involved in the life of the church and finding the the place in service that fits you. You can explore your spiritual gifts by taking a class that explains your spiritual gifts in detail. We\’ve tried to outline some spiritual gifts that would, if you have them, make you feel very comfortable in a ministry. Once you find one that “fits”, we suggest contacting the ministry leader and sitting in on a meeting to see if your experience confirms your reading of the gifts. We have a place for you to serve and the invitation is extended.
United Methodist Men
Who we are
The 2016 United Methodist Book of Discipline charges the General Commission on United Methodist Men with the “primary oversight for the coordination and resourcing of men’s ministry with The United Methodist Church.” (paragraph 2302)
Brief history
By a margin of 80% to 20%, the General Conference of 1996 approved the creation of the General Commission on United Methodist Men (GCUMM), effective January 1, 1997. The GCUMM assumed the responsibilities of the former Division of United Methodist Men of the General Board of Discipleship. A Board of Directors was established by General Conference to oversee the work of the Commission.
