UNITED METHODIST MEN
The prime mission of the United Methodist Men is to encourage men to know Jesus Christ, to serve him, to grow spiritually and seek daily to do his will. To this end plans have been made to participate in United Methodist Men Annual Spiritual Retreats. At Saint James the men are involved in all aspects of church activity including Faithkeepers, Pancake Breakfasts, Wheels to Worship and fund-raising while reaching out to the community to meet the essential needs of those less fortunate.

The United Methodist Men are committed to taking an active role in supporting local mission projects, which will make a difference in the lives of many men, women and children. Missions that are benefiting from our financial support and labor include Second Chance, Last Opportunity, Habitat for Humanity and Resurrection House. Special work projects are scheduled to involve many men to meet the needs of these vital missions.

They meet rmonthly for fellowship. Pancake breakfasts and Bar-B-Ques are held annually to raise money for mission projects.
