The Reidville Road United Methodist Men are an active group participating in several ministries within our church, our community, and beyond! Chartered in 2007, the UMM have held fundraisers highlighted by a Chili Cookoff in January which raised funds used to support the Kairos prison ministry, purchase building materials for wheelchair ramps for dialysis patients, and contribute to the Kevin Carper Memorial Fund.
UMM hosts an annual golf tournament in the summer and the men have also have worked at the soup kitchen and are active in helping maintain the church grounds with mowing teams during the summer months, and are available to help others in need with yard work, handy man jobs, etc. In addition, funds are being raised for the Nothing but Nets organization, a group that provides mosquito netting for malaria prevention in needy African communities.
Our Men meet monthly at 7:30AM for breakfast meeting before Sunday School. Contact the church office for more information!
United Methodist Men Mission Statement
United Methodist Men shall be a creative, supportive fellowship 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
