Scope of Men’s Ministry

Jesus said, “Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19).  Men’s ministry includes gender-specific ministries, which are designed to help men come to God (evangelism), grow in Christ (discipleship), serve through the church (ministry) and go to the world (missions).

• Why?
  Men’s ministry seeks to help men develop a clear manhood vision and provides a safe environment where men discover they are not alone in their struggles, challenges and achievements.  Men’s ministry provides biblical role models, practical training and encouragement to fulfill their God-given roles (Deuteronomy 6:5-7; 1 Corinthians 11:3; Ephesians 5:23-33; 1 Peter 3:7).
• What?
  Men’s ministry is led by men, for men.
• Who?
  Men’s ministry is for men ages 18 and older, who are in various stages of life.
• How?
  Men’s ministry occurs through male-specific outreach events, Men’s Fraternity groups, Bible and discipleship studies for men, male accountability groups, one-to-one and one-to-a-group mentoring relationships and ministry and mission projects.
• When?
  Men’s ministry may occur at anytime of the day or night, including, but not limited to, 6 A.M. Men’s Fraternity mid-week meetings, weekend sporting events and designated discipleship hours.
• Where?
  Based on the purposes of each group or ministry to men – open or closed group and ministry teams – men’s ministry can occur in church buildings, homes, gymnasiums, ball fields, golf courses, stadiums and other venues.
