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.
