A Message from our UMM President, Ted Hoffer
Our faith tells us we are to love God, and to love others as ourselves. Ebenezer United Methodist Men (EUMM) strives to create a supportive environment in which men can help each other build themselves spiritually, draw closer to God, and serve God, Ebenezer Church, and others. We do this through fellowship, service and social events, Bible study, praying for each other, and otherwise providing support for one another.
As men, we face ever-changing roles and responsibilities in the family setting, at work, in relationships, and within the community. Too often, we tend to be reluctant to ask for help with issues we face due to pride, shame, guilt, or a sense that we are the only one dealing with these issues and should be able to fix things ourselves. The truth is, all men face these issues, and if we are able to get to the point where we can “take off our masks” and seek help, things typically start to get better. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” If you are dealing with issues now, or simply want to be a part of our efforts to create a non-judgmental environment within which men can address these issues, please consider becoming active within Ebenezer UMM.
Each of you is an Ebenezer UMM member already, because you are a male within this church. There is no requirement to attend monthly meetings, or scheduled events, but we encourage you to do so as your schedule permits.
Ted Hoffer, Ebenezer UMM President

Meetings are typically held at 9:00am on the second Saturday of each month. Members are encouraged to attend as many meetings as possible to help each other grow in faith and fellowship, but attendance is not a condition of membership.
Members determine the types of activities that are scheduled. Over the years, we have conducted events such as yard sales, fruit sales during holiday seasons, service projects such as home repairs, maintenance, and
landscaping, trips to baseball games, fishing trips, attendance at men’s ministry events, a Christmas manger build with children, and other service, social, and fellowship events. Some members also participate in Compassion Restoration's Firewood Ministry, which cuts, splits, and delivers firewood to needy families in our area. Many members also take part in a weekly dinner/bible study such as Fuel for Men on Tuesday evenings.
