gospel in its personal and social dimensions.

To clarify and speak to the identity and role of the man
in contemporary society.

To seek commitment to discipleship.
|
|
To study and become familiar with The United Methodist
Church, its organization, doctrines and beliefs.

To cooperate with all units of United Methodist Men in obtaining
these objectives through district, conference, jurisdiction, and church-wide
goals.
