Men’s Ministry

• Relational Community (Matthew 18:20) - Provide organized settings that allow men to naturally connect, form friendships, and offer a safe environment where men can face and process real life issues.
• Personal Spiritual Practices (1 Corinthians 11:1) - Provide accountability opportunities so men increasingly take responsibility for their personal spiritual life and get rid of the blinders that keep them from becoming the most useful possible man for God.
• Influencing Another Person’s Life (Matthews 28:19-20) - Provide outreach efforts so men develop an appetite to see lives transformed and are consumed with making disciples.

1A. Intentionally discover men’s spiritual gifts and connect them into serving opportunities.

1B. Minister to men through community men’s events (golf, Wed class, 1st Saturday breakfast, mission trips & opportunities), projects, resources, devotionals, etc.

2A. Create a “Try It” atmostphere by adopting different SIMPly Love projects through the year as a way to sample different serving opportunities in our community.

2B. Introduce a 5/5 Covenant (Addendum “A”) to create intentionality and opportunity to experience faith outside the church.

2C. Offer specific classes (for example, 3 Circles training) to build faith and boldness.

3A. Intentional apprenticing by mentoring new Christians.

3B. Have 4-6 gospel conversations a year by partnering with ministries like (for example) a drug rehabilitation home where people are uncritical spirits, have hungry hearts and listening ears for the promise of salvation and redemption.

3C. Quarterly share stories of radically changing lives (pulpit, newsletter, etc).
