United Methodist Men

Church Renewal

UMM is working to implement a new model and vision of men’s ministry. We believe that the result will be men involved in all four areas of focus which will reach the world for Christ. United Methodist Men are responding to the four areas of focus in the following ways:

New places for new people and renewal of existing congregations…

  • Awakening and building new spiritually as a means to revive congregations.
  • Training clergy and lay leaders in effective discipleship of men.
  • Encouraging and equipping men to serve their pastors and congregations as ministry partners.
  • Assisting UMC leaders beyond the USA with relevant training and resources.

Change the World is a movement to connect United Methodists by building community locally in service projects and fighting malaria globally with Imagine No Malaria to end preventable deaths from malaria in Africa. Local service projects vary and include raising funds for worthy causes, feeding the hungry, planting gardens, advocating for peace and justice and more.


Last year, more than 2,000 events took place in 15 countries.


United Methodist Communications has created several Change the World resources to help churches with project ideas, information on how to advertise free events, and a sermon series. Register your event by April 16 to receive a free marketing kit that includes a lawn banner, sermon series DVD, and t-shirt.
