The United Methodist Men (UMM) of Johns Creek UMC (JCUMC) will sponsor the annual John Dorman Duty-to-God award, recognizing Eagle Scouts in the area around Johns Creek who have clearly demonstrated their Duty to God, Leadership and Service in the local community. John Dorman, an Eagle Scout dedicated to his faith and his family who passed away in 2007 is the inspiration for this award.
