VISION
A Vision is a description of what you want to become. We need to have a mental image producing our vision as it involves seeing the optimal future of the organization and vividly describing this vision.
OUR VISION
We will declare the centrality of Christ in all of our relationship.
PURPOSE
A Purpose statement answers the question, “Why do we exist?”
OUR PURPOSE
We will be an Inclusive, Creative, Supportive fellowship of men seeking to know Christ, and follow His daily will, through E.M.S.

In 2007 the Northwestern District United Methodist Men have become awaken with the blessings of Bishop Hee - Soo Jung and the many prayers and participation from our Superintendent Rev. James Preston. Your Officers have been installed and your President Leon N. DeLoney with the men in the District have been spiritually injected. We need every NWDUMM to step up and help us re-construct and establish a NWDUMM's that will with stand the test of time.
Greetings Pastors and Men of Christ
The NWDUMM met on January 19, 2008. In this meeting the men decided to have a men’s musical On May 10, 2008 to help raise funds for the district UMM. This concert will be open to all NWDUMM. If interested please contact the district President. So please come and represent your church. The men also voted to have 2 worship services this year. They would like the Superintendent and the Bishop as speakers.
The men voted to ask all NWD churches to summit an annual fee of 20 dollars to support the NWDUMM. This funding will help purchase spiritual growth classes, reading materials, and other missions set forth by the men.
We have started our NWDUMM web site.
From this web site you can link to the NIC, NWD, GCUMM web sites.
We are trying to set up a rotating Bible study for men. This bible study group will alternate churches monthly.
We are now looking for an instructor and churches willing to participate.
Along with this update you are receiving the 2008 Northern Illinois Conference UMM plan. Please take the time to let all NWDUMM view the CD. It is a power point presentation. It is time for the NWDUMM to join the journey that is se before us. We must do everything we can to contribute to Harvest 2020. We are a very important link in the plans for the United Methodist Church.
