Methodist Men
The Methodist Men group is very active. Our mission is to support spiritual growth among men, helping men to mature as disciples as they encourage spiritual formation in others.
On the first Sunday of each month at 8:00 am, we gather at the church for breakfast, fellowship, and service project planning. Please see our "Joyful News" weekly church newsletter (under Resources) for event information.
