Greater Lansing Clergy Forum led by Dr. Melvin T. Jones Pastor of Union Missionary Baptist Church including 25 additional Lansing area churches and ministries is hosting the Men’s Summit.
The mission of the Men’s Summit is to elevate men’s vision, perspective, and opportunity to successfully travel the journey of life.
Many men from our community have a desire to be successful in accomplishing their defined goals relating to self, family, community, and career. However, as they begin to strive toward this success they discover the journey to be heavily burdened and in many cases unachievable.
The Men’s Summit vision is to provide a platform in which the foundation of success becomes inevitable as we deliver the infrastructure of knowledge, opportunity, new perspective, and resources that foster hope and tangible results.
The Men’s Summit
The Men’s Summit will benefit Lansing and the surrounding area males who face social and economic barriers in health, life direction, education, and competitive employment.
