Purpose
Many churches lack men-focused discipleship, yet men are vital to thriving marriages, families, churches, and communities. Intentional men’s ministry is crucial for healthy homes and churches. Done well, it attracts and nurtures men to grow in Christ and build His Kingdom. This workshop will help you start, organize, or revive a thriving men’s ministry!
What It Is
- An uncompromising, unapologetic look at the value and importance of men.
- A challenge to replace the status quo of languid men's discipleship with conviction that building men is key to healthy marriages, families, communities, and the church.
- Development of an action plan to institute a flourishing men's ministry, which develops godly leaders in the home, community, and church.
How It Works
- Facilitated: Led by experienced men's ministry and discipleship leaders.
- Interactive: Five decision-making, strategically guided discussions identifying realistic local application.
