EMS and Legacy Builders

You can become an Evangelism, Missions, and Spiritual Development (EMS) member of the General Commission on United Methodist Men, the global governing body, with an annual donation of just $45. These funds support many existing ministries both nationally and internationally. These ministries are listed on the General Commission’s website,, and include resources that help grow men spiritually; ministries that help men be better fathers and husbands; leader recruitment and training; communications with men, pastors, and leaders; mentoring and youth programs; hunger relief; prayer ministries; support of UM leaders; and web-based communications. From each individual contribution of $45 annually, the UMMen of the North GA Conference and your District UMMen receive $3.5 annually for each EMS member. In addition to the EMS program which funds existing ministries, the Legacy Builder program exists to offer sponsorships at the Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels ($10, $25, $50, and $100/ month, respectively) to enable the development of new ministries at national and international levels. The bronze and higher Legacy Builder contributors are automatically EMS members.

The leadership of the UMMen of the North Georgia Conference strongly urges every Methodist man in our Confere nce to become at least an EMS member or, if possible, a Bronze or higher Legacy Builder
