Mission Statement

The United Methodist Men (UMM) is a fellowship of men who wish to join with others in the continuation and expansion of the work of the church and its Christian mission. The UMM helps men live out their vows and commitment through a covenant relationship with other men of the Church. We seek knowledge and illumination that speaks to a central question: What does it mean to be a man who serves the Lord?

Purpose

To provide a supportive fellowship for men seeking to know Jesus Christ, grow spiritually, seek His will and help others find a welcoming place for Christ in their hearts and lives. The UMM’s programs, activities and special events are supportive of the overall mission of the Church.

Membership

Any man who understands and accepts the Christian principles and purposes of the UMM is welcome to join our fellowship.

Harbour Scholarships

The John Harbour Scholarship Fund was created by John's wife, Helen, and the UMM, following his death in 1988, to honor his service to Jesus Christ, the Church and to the Community. Mr. Harbour was a charter member of the UMM. The scholarship is for graduate work and carries with it an award of $1000. Preference is given to persons who intend to go into full time ordained ministry or other Christian service.  For details about the application process and to see a list of past scholarship recipients, please click here.

The United Methodist Men's group of the church sponsors a Book Discussion Group that meets on Monday nights throughout the year.  We study a wide-ranging series of topics, but with a bias towards books that discuss the interaction between Science and Religion. All men and women are welcome to attend. One need not be a member of UMM to participate.
