Celebrating Men in Discipleship and Service
LEARN
What Is Men’s Ministry Sunday?
This Sunday celebrates the spiritual growth, service, and leadership of men in the church. As one of five Awareness Special Sundays, it invites every United Methodist church to extend that ministry by encouraging men to live out their faith with integrity, courage, and compassion.
Why Does Men’s Ministry Sunday Matter?
Many men are looking for meaningful ways to grow in faith and connect with others. Men’s ministry gives them space to grow as disciples, mentors, and servants, strengthening families, congregations, and communities. This Sunday celebrates their gifts and invites more men into deeper discipleship.
How Can My Church Celebrate?
While Men’s Ministry Sunday is celebrated together on one special Sunday, men’s ministry continues all year long. Your church can:
- Recognize: Celebrate the contributions of men in worship.
- Connect: Start or strengthen a men’s group for fellowship and spiritual growth.
- Serve: Lead a service project or mentor young people.
