Support the Missions of the United Methodist Men

Men of the Northern Illinois Conference, I invite you to join me in support of the missions of United Methodist Men.

United Methodist Men seek to enable all men and all youth to have an on-growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Following the call to action from the scriptures, we seek to cast our nets in new waters and are using our skills-sets to make a difference in Northern Illinois.  We are expanding our resources for transformational small group experiences and reaching out to churches where men’s ministries are missing to offer a treasury of life-enriching outcomes.

Specific ministries and missions of the Conference United Methodist Men include:

  • Society of Saint Andrew: helping to feed the hungry
  • United Methodist Committee on Relief: providing emergency relief and disaster response
  • Scouting: helping youth build their foundation for moral and ethical citizenship
  • Strength for Service: a devotional distributed to first responders to help them face the challenges and tragedies in their daily work   

Additional funds are needed to enhance these programs and develop new resources that will increase spiritual-enrichment opportunities.  To meet these needs, we must expand our circle of support. 

I pray you will join me in making a special donation for these important ministries.

Craig McGregor
NICUMM Conference President
