| SPIRITUAL LIFE" 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. 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.
