Sons of Allen Men's Ministry
SOA MISSION
The Sons of Allen is a ministry created for men, both clergy and lay, which will seek to address the needs for distinctive ministries to men, who are faced with spiritual, social, political, and psychological challenges, to equip men to follow the example of Andrew (John 1:41-42) who brought Peter to Jesus.
VISION

- Lead men to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
- Organize all men in Christian fellowship and social action.

- Encourage men to engage in community, state, national and world affairs as Christian citizens.
- Promote the participation of men in the work of the local and Connectional Church in keeping with their abilities, interest and time schedule.
