The Presbyterian Men’s Organization seeks to foster the spiritual development of the men of our church by establishing and/or building upon individual knowledge of the Scriptures. We also desire to enable each man to develop a closer relationship with God and Christ, with a deeper understanding of our Lord’s guidance and the impact on our lives. As a wonderful consequence of the fellowship involved with our journey, we develop friendships through our regular meetings, social events, prayer, study and volunteerism.
The official name of the organization is Bayside Presbyterian Men's Organization (BPMO). All men of the church are automatically members of BPMO. Men who are members of other churches can request to be a member, and will be gladly accepted.

Weekend meetings take place every other Saturday at 0730, lasting about an hour. The men enjoy a hearty breakfast and fellowship, and then primarily conduct a bible study. Our bible study recently completed the chapters of Genesis and has started on Luke.
We have recently started a weekday meeting as well, holding them twice a month. This meeting starts at 0645 and ends at 0800. We will enjoy a light meal with coffee and juice. We plan to have a meaningful discussion topic from 0710 to 0730. Before and after the selected discussion, we will enjoy fellowship and learn from each other. The topics will be church related, and could be similar to bible study if desired. But, they will be whatever the attendees need to advance their spiritual development and/or help them better understand Christ’s support in God’s plan within our daily lives.

Dramatic presentation of "Paul's Letters to the Romans," sponsored by the Presbyterian Men.
Other events which have been - and continue to be - celebrated by the BPMO include a Valentine’s Day Breakfast, a reenactment of Peter/Paul, flag day, and an annual golf tournament where proceeds are donated to the Youth Mission Trip program. We also prepared brunch for the Easter egg hunt and a picnic during Vacation Bible School week. We participate in many more support events for efforts throughout the church.
BPMO has provided financial support for Eagle and Gold Scout projects as well as Massanetta Springs, the Salvation Army and numerous other activities.
There is a BPMO information bulletin board outside the kitchen area. All men of the church as well as visitors are welcome to join in the various activities and may attend a meeting at any time. For more information, please contact Rick Rudell, rudellfl@cox.net.
