Broadway’s United Methodist Men is a multi- generational, creative, supportive fellowship of men whose primary purpose is to help its members know God, grow spiritually, and seek His will daily. Members are encouraged to participate in the total life of the church and to declare the centrality of Christ in their lives and in all their relationships.
Membership is open to all male members of the congregation and the community.
Activities occur throughout the year and include:
● Maintenance and construction projects at Camp Wesley Woods ● Attending the Holston Conference “Day with the Bishop” ● Sponsoring a Spring Wildflower Hike to White Oak Sinks ● Serving lunch at the United Methodist Women’s Fashion Show ● Maintenance projects at the sanctuary and parsonage ● Setting up and taking down the Nativity Scene at Asbury Place Maryville ● Sponsoring the Faithful Servant of Jesus Christ Award
Meetings are held the second Saturday of each month throughout the year at Asbury Place Maryville (formerly Asbury Acres). The meetings begin at 8:30 a.m. with breakfast. Around 9:00 a.m. the men gather for a time of devotion and a brief business meeting that usually ends by 10:00 a.m. Often the group goes on to work on a scheduled project.
Fundraising events throughout the year provide the financial resources needed to support the Youth Scholarship Fund and other worthwhile projects. For example, this year the United Methodist Men led the Broadway UMC response to the Camp Wesley Woods Capital Campaign by making a three-year pledge. There are three fundraising events this year.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose Romans 8:28 |
A church cannot function with only a paid staff. Many volunteers are needed to keep the
church alive and growing. Several of our members give freely of their time and talents serving others and living a life representative of a true Christian. Every year, the UMM
sponsor an award to honor a member from our congregation who represents the true nature of a Christian servant, but who have not been recognized for their service to others.
Each Fall the UMM solicit
nominations from the congregation at large. The congregation then
selects the recipient and the UMM present the award in January.
