The Ebenezer and Zion Men’s Groups must be singled out and commended for being the most progressive men’s groups in the Circuit. An appeal is going out to all the men of the Circuit, you are all members of the MCCA Men’s Commission and as such; you are encouraged to be part of your Congregation’s men’s group.

Our Mission Statement, and Goal are very explicit and clear; we are charged with the responsibility for providing leadership in our home; church; and community. But; more importantly; we will be held accountable for the lack thereof.

We are reminded by the poetic words of our founding father in hymn 578, verse two:
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master’s will

As we continue on our pilgrim journey let us Rise up o men of GOD.
