Dr. Hill supports the men’s ministry which includes out-of-country mission trips and Habitat for Humanity.  He also supported the men in forming a ministry called "Light in the Nations" with the 61st Avenue UMC in Nashville.  This group assists senior citizens on a monthly basis.  He was also instrumental in helping the United Methodist Men to launch a new ministry called "Men of Momentum".  This group meets for Bible study and prayer.  The focus of this group is to teach each man to stay energized to serve God better in his career, his relationships and his quest to draw closer to God. For these and many other reasons, it is with great pride that the United Methodist Men of the Tennessee Conference join the United Methodist Men of the southeastern jusdiction in presenting the G. Ross Freeman Leadership Award to Rev. Dr. A. Lynn Hill for 2011.

The G. Ross Freeman Foundation, Inc., and the Southeastern Jurisdiction United Methodist Men give all glory to God for the leadership provided by these faithful pastors.
