The first constitution of the Men’s Guild appears in the blue book of 1958. In the same year there was an Overture before the General Assembly calling for the recognition of the Men’s Association in the Church.

A summarized version of the aims and objectives of the Men’s Christian Guild (MCG) are:

(a) To advance the Kingdom of God.
(b) To deepen the spiritual lives of men and to promote the study of the Scriptures and to develop the intellectual, social and physical well being of the members.
(c) To inculcate a sense of moral discipline among members.
(d) To encourage a sense of responsibility and practical Christianity in responding to those needing practical help or assistance.
(e) To foster loyalty to the Church.

Their strong point is evangelism and bringing non-Christians to the faith. Their method of doing this has been the subject of criticism for some time but has stood the test of time.
