Our Vision and Calling

To Know God and Make Him Known
Fundamental to all we do is our emphasis on evangelism (outreach) and building lasting relationships through a discipleship process.

Fulfilling the Great Commission
Since 1981 our mission has been to provide pastors, lay-leaders, men’s organizations and denominations with the counsel, services, and resources they need to successfully reach men for Christ.  These services and resources guide men in an innovative way of thinking about their faith and to eliminate the failure and frustration often associated to developing an effective ministry to men.
