MEN
Men's ministry is essential to the vitality of the church. Ministry to men identifies, develops and releases the unique gifts of men into the life and service of the church. It calls men out of their spiritual passivity and equips them for godly influence at home, at church and in society. Our men’s ministry mandate is to train men who can in turn train others. Men’s ministry intentionally draws men to God and to each other. By strengthening the lay leadership in the church, men’s ministry serves the needs of the congregation and community.
Many men feel isolated today. Studies show that most men past the age of 30 do not have friends. They have colleagues and work buddies, golf partners, and maybe a "couple" friend or two. Sadly, for most men in our culture, male friendship is a part of their distant past. Men need mentoring in current issues and trends, they need such as identity, friendships, awareness of God’s call, Discipline in priorities and values, learning how to seek God, a discipleship process, marriage and family skills, mentors and mentoring, spiritual leaders at home, and stewardship skills.
Men's ministry has a foundation of biblical truth and prayer and is inspired by Christ-centered worship. It has a framework of vital relationships within a masculine context and is guided by clear vision and goals.
Equipped with resources and training, it facilitates the making of godly men who keep their promises and commitments. These men proactively apply their ministry gifts to influence their world for Christ by intentionally reconciling men to God and each other and by ministering to the needs of their church and community under the authority and direction of their church leadership.
