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.

EQUIP
When Is Men’s Ministry Sunday Celebrated?
Congregations choose the date for Men’s Ministry Sunday. Many observe it in June, often on Father’s Day, but churches and annual conferences may choose any Sunday that fits their calendar.

How Can I Be Part of the Ministry?
Your presence makes a difference. Join or form a men’s group, mentor a young person, or lead a service project in your community. Contact your annual conference to learn about United Methodist Men and other men’s ministries near you.

Whose Faith and Ministry Are We Honoring?
Men’s Ministry Sunday honors men who serve as disciples, mentors, and leaders, and the men’s groups that build fellowship and serve their communities.

Do You Have a Story to Share?
We’d love to hear how men in your church are growing in faith and serving others. Share your story with us here so we can celebrate their faithfulness and inspire others.
