General Commission on United Methodist Men
General Commission on United Methodist Men is a general agency of the United Methodist Church. The agency was authorized by the 1996 General Conference and is governed by a 25-member board of directors from around the globe and a 10-member staff based in Nashville, Tennessee.
The commission establishes vision and goals that promote the ministry of Jesus Christ through men. The staff oversees development of men's ministry leaders who can help congregations become vital and effective with men. They recommend suitable and effective men's ministry tools and resources for United Methodist congregations, and serve as a men's ministry connector between organizations and persons within the denominational structure.
The commission provides 78 percent of its annual budgets with only 22 percent from World Service funds (a percentage of funds raised through United Methodist Church offerings.)
Affiliated organizations include The National Association of Conference Presidents, The United Methodist Men Foundation, The National Association of United Methodist Scouters, The World Fellowship of Methodist and Uniting Church Men, The National Coalition of Men's Ministries, The Denominational Men's Ministry Network of North America, Boys Scouts of America, Girls Scouts of America, Camp Fire USA, 4-H, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
