Purpose

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 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 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, jurisdiction, and church-wide goals.

• 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.

History of United Methodist Men

The roots of Methodist Men are buried deep down in the heart of Methodism and find their source in the life and work of the founder of Methodism, John Wesley.  From the Holy Club at Oxford University to the societies and classes formed among Methodist Men to the Naval and Military Bible Society organized in 1779, the impact of John Wesley's work among men was profound. 

The name Methodist Men was adopted in 1942, along with the present objectives, purposes, and program. What has happened since then is a matter of historical record. In less than 13 years, the Methodist Men grew to a point where more than 10,400 chartered groups were operating in The Methodist Church. The movement has spread far beyond the borders of the United States and we now include within our fellowship chartered chapters in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Chile, Philippines, Hawaii, Alaska and Liberia

The present history of United Methodist Men begins with the merger of the Evangelical United Brethen and the Methodist Church in 1968.  The history of United Methodist Men of EPFM began with the merger of the historic East Point First and Mallalieu United Methodist Churches in 2002.
