The Scope

Men's Ministry naturally includes events to attract men. However, relationships make men stick, and discipleship groups, work projects, mission trips, and fun activities provide plenty of opportunities for fellowship and conversation, creating an environment for relationships to be developed. The discipleship groups focus upon training in the practice of all that Jesus taught. Finally, work projects and mission projects nourish their world view.

The Reason

In his studies, George Gallup concludes, “Women may be the backbone of a congregation, but the presence of a significant number of men is often the indicator of spiritual health.”

Why expend the effort to minister to men? Because Jesus did. Jesus honored and welcomed women and children, but a major focus of His ministry was – and still should be – men. If the church is going to take the Kingdom of God into the market place . . . if the church is going to be a catalyst for community transformation, then the church must elevate its focus on men. The spiritual development of men must be one of its top priorities.

What are the natural gifts men bring to Kingdom advancement? Men have an expansionist outlook . . . they make things happen. They are oriented toward risk. Their focus is directed outward, and they want to be part of something larger than themselves. Structure and pragmatism come naturally to them. Men are often better able to underwrite Kingdom work financially. Men bring their families to church.

Men want to serve God! They need to be recruited, prepared, and released to express Kingdom values in their natural aggressive and masculine fashion.
