MenNMinistry to host leadership revitalization meeting April 6

COLUMBIA—South Carolina MenNMinistry is trying hard to get healthy, strong and vital again after the pandemic and church split caused a slowdown.

To kickstart their efforts, South Carolina Resident Bishop Leonard Fairley is inviting all South Carolina United Methodist men to a MenNMinistry Bishop’s Leadership Event, set for Sunday, April 6, from 4-5:30 p.m. at Ashland UMC, Columbia.

Men can attend in-person or via Zoom.

Men’s ministry leaders said they need to build and grow our men’s ministry leadership in order to have strong men’s involvement in every district in South Carolina, from the Upstate to the Lowcountry and everywhere in between. South Carolina men have long been viewed as leaders in the UMC connection, and now they need both existing and new leaders to move them forward. 

The men plan to refocus their leadership to engage connection with other ministry groups and agencies, including lay leaders, lay servants, United Women of Faith, disaster responders and more. As they noted, it is all about long-term, committed relationships.

Areas of focus include but are not limited to scouting, disaster relief and United Methodist Volunteers in Mission, Salkehatchie Summer Service, mission events, United Methodist college foundations, camps and retreat ministries and prison ministries.

All men are invited to the leadership meeting. To register or for Zoom information: https://www.umcsc.org/mennministryreg.
