United Methodist Men

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.

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.

United Methodist Women

The organized unit of United Methodist Women shall be a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.   "Membership shall be open to any woman who indicates her desire to belong and to participate in the global mission of the Church through United Methodist Women. "
