This article examines the formation and discourse of the Epworth League, established by the Methodist Church as a lay organization intended to keep adolescent boys in the church. While the Epworth League was ostensibly open to both men and women, its real aim was to masculinize a church which was perceived to be dominated by a female membership and female-led organizations. This article explores when and how this construction of youthful piety became embedded within Methodism and the impact it had on the shape of church governance. Moreover, it argues that social Christianity, which gained a foothold through the mechanism of the League was an essentially male-gendered discourse.Cet article traite de la formation et du discours de la Ligue Epworth, une organisation laïque créée par l’Église méthodiste dans le but de garder les adolescents à l’église. Alors que la Ligue Epworth était soi-disant ouverte aux hommes et aux femmes, son véritable but était de masculiniser une Église perçue comme dominée par des fidèles féminines et par des organismes dirigés par des femmes. L’article étudie à quel moment et de quelle façon cette édification de la piété des jeunes s’est ancrée dans le méthodisme et l’influence qu’elle a eue sur la structure de gouvernance de l’Église. De plus, elle soutient que le christianisme social, qui s’est répandu grâce à la Ligue, tenait un discours masculin
