Wholeness and Holiness: A Masculine Journey to Christlikeness
October 16-17, 2026
St. Luke’s UMC, Orlando

Registration Opens July 1

Join United Methodist Men from across the Conference for our Florida Man Ministries Summit. This expanded two-day event will include worship, prayer, practical skill-building, and ministry tools to equip you for transformative men’s ministry leadership.

Our theme is Wholeness and Holiness: A Masculine Journey to Christlikeness. Using the four masculine archetypes—King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover—as a framework, we will explore how Jesus models the fullest picture of faithful manhood.

In Christ, we see leadership shaped by service, strength shaped by courage, wisdom shaped by truth, and love shaped by compassion. This retreat offers space to reflect on your own life, relationships, calling, and walk with God. It is not about pretending to have it all together. It is about making room for God’s grace to meet us, renew us, and continue shaping us.

More details on speakers and workshops will be announced soon. Your presence and participation will help shape the future of men’s ministry in Florida.

The Rev. Tanner White was a deeply committed pastor and a passionate advocate for men’s ministry. Tragically, Tanner died at the age of 36, just a few days after he was ordained an Elder in Full Connection in June 2024. He is survived by his wife, Mallory, and their two daughters.

One of his most impactful contributions was organizing trips for men to step away from daily demands and rediscover their identity as beloved children of God. Tanner understood the importance of creating space for spiritual renewal and connection.

To honor his remarkable legacy and continue his transformative work, we have established the Rev. Tanner White Memorial Fund. This fund will subsidize and facilitate such trips, empowering men to experience the life-giving opportunities Tanner envisioned.

Through this initiative, we honor Tanner’s legacy and ignite a spark that will inspire and empower generations of men to embrace their identity as beloved children of God.
