Registration Closes on Monday, March 20
Please join us for the spring meeting of VA UMMen when experienced speakers leading 6 workshops reveal how two seldom used secrets of life for Envisioning Christ's Kingdom can help you find what you’re really searching for.
Who Should Attend?
Those who believe that “men are fundamental to the church,” should be counted "present" for this one-day, springtime event! It's for all men — from the local church level on up through the district leadership — men that have an appetite for service and continued growth in their spiritual maturity, and a heart for intentional discipleship with other men of the church to be Kingdom Builders. Pastors are invited to accompany the men of their church.
Men, talk it up. Spread the word that the Virginia United Methodist Men are alive and on the move. Urge your church’s chartered UMMen group, Men’s Fellowship, Mission Team, or Men’s Bible Study to c’mon out to join their brothers in Christ for a day of discernment to determine just where they fit in the picture, that is, their place in Christ’s Kingdom and being all that God wants them to be.

A Brief Business Session
This year’s Annual Meeting of Virginia United Methodist Men will be remarkably short because most of the heavy lifting — election of officers and 2017 finance and budget items — will have been approved in advance via online communication.
Registration
