Celebration Suggestions
PRESBYTERIAN MEN SUNDAY / FATHER’S DAY, Sunday, June 21, 2026
Regardless of their family situations, all Presbyterian Men are called by God to share their time, talents, spirit, and energies fulfilling their call to be disciples of Jesus Christ, and to act like fathers to all the children in their congregation.
The General Assembly designated this Sunday as a special day to recognize the gifts and contributions of men to the Church’s ministry. In every congregation and council of the church, men are working and praying to make better communities, to strengthen and broaden the faith of their brothers in Christ, and to make new disciples for Christ.
On June 21, 2026 (or any other day selected by your Session), congregations are invited to celebrate “Presbyterian Men Sunday.” This can be a day of thanksgiving as your congregation recognizes, rejoices, and renews its commitment to provide the vital ministries of men performing their unique Christian duties in the home, church, workplace and community.
