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.

quilt ministry
The Quilt Ministry creates beautiful quilts for various nonprofit organizations in the Williamsburg area. Special quilts have been given to the elderly clients at Williamsburg United Methodist Church Respite Care center, women given a second chance in life at Latisha's House, homeless patrons served by 3eRestoration, and the residents leaving the county's juvenile detention center at Merrimac Center. Our hope is that all recipients feel the love, support, and encouragement that is quilted into each one of our gifts.
The Quilt Ministry welcomes anyone interested in working as a team to construct quilts. No prior experience is necessary. We will share all of our skills and teach you everything you need to know.
Meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month from 12pm to 3pm in Room 307. Drop in as you are able, at any time, and stay as long as you can. You will find us busily engaged, experiencing great fulfillment, and having lots of fun along the way. Help us sew and pray.
