History
For many years, laymen and church leaders keenly felt the need to offer
opportunities for men to do something great for God in their generation that
would build eternal rewards. Many realized that men together could accomplish
things for God which they could only dream of alone. Thus in 1968, The Wesleyan
Church authorized an organization to be known as Wesleyan Men.
Today, Wesleyan Men is becoming a great ministry of church growth and evangelism
which multiplies a thousand times our individual efforts. Our involvement for
Christ is felt in homes, churches, communities, and mission fields around the
world.
