Living in Christ, So Others May Know Christ
United Methodist Men (UMM) is the official organization for men in The United Methodist Church at the church, district, conference, and national levels.
The mission of Aldersgate UMM is to support spiritual growth and fellowship among men as well as the mission of Aldersgate, while “helping men grow in Christ, so others may know Christ.”
Aldersgate UMM gathers monthly for fellowship and learning. Every other month there is an Executive Committee meeting (all are welcome to attend) where current and upcoming activities (including charitable giving) are discussed and voted upon. During the other months (except July) we put on a dinner with a guest speaker. UMM Dinners are open to everyone.
Dinner speakers and topics have included noted theologian Jim Wallis on living Christ’s message in the modern world; Lead Pastor Bill John’s vision for the church, roast and reflections by outgoing Lead Pastor Randy Orndorff, an exploration of Creation Care issues, George Washington’s Mount Vernon, Fairfax County Police Department Human Trafficking Office, and a former Medical Missionary. Meetings and dinners are generally held in the evening on the second Tuesday of the month.
UMM’s major fundraiser is an annual family and friends golf outing, usually held in September. Named the Aldersgate UMM Ken Galbreath Memorial Golf Tournament, after the stalwart UMM member
who spearheaded the tournament for years, it raises funds to support UMM’s mission outreach. UMM has given approximately over $100,000 to local, regional, and international mission projects since 2007. In fact, all net proceeds go to support mission outreach!
