WHY MEN'S MINISTRY?
1
Because the threat to godliness is so great – and the opportunity before us so immeasurable – ministry to men is an idea whose time has come.
2
It will afford your church the chance to equip and enlist men to display Christ-centered perspectives in their homes, churches, and communities.
3
It will enable you to under-gird men in the quest to find and fulfill their calling in Christ.
4
It will create a meaningful forum in which you can motivate and mobilize the Apostolic men around you.
5
It will facilitate the pastor’s unending effort to build better men – and thereby grow great churches.
6
A vibrant ministry to men will not be an additional burden – but rather, an invaluable aid.
