A Call for Equity and Full Participation as General Conference 2028 Extends to Harare, Zimbabwe
United Methodist Men
The General Commission on United Methodist Men (UMMen) involves men in a growing relationship to Jesus Christ and his church and provides resources and support for programs of evangelism, stewardship and the needs of men. United Methodist Men leads the church’s scouting ministry (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Campfire), encourages participation in several programs serving at-risk youth and advocates for and supports men seeking to prevent domestic violence.
The Rev. Dr. Rick Vance shares the vision of United Methodist Men (UMM), centered on three core components of discipleship: the man, the ministry, and the mission. He highlights how UMM equips men to grow in faith, strengthen their communities, and serve with purpose in the world.
