Quick Start Guide
ELIMINATE COMMON FAILURE POINTS
Can you imagine what it would be like to eliminate most of the failure points that cause men’s ministries to collapse? After meeting with your MMC leadership team and assessing your men we will partner with your leaders in utilizing a biblical foundation to develop a practical Men’s Ministry vision. Leaders need to create a safe environment for men to become transparent and supportive of one another (Proverbs 15:22)
By eliminating the common failure points you will create a nurturing and positive environment for men to explore their faith.

DISCIPLESHIP/SPIRITUAL MENTORING NEEDS TO BE AT THE CORE
With the assistance of your MMC coach select a strategy that assures a sustainable program that is consistently inspiring, empowering, equipping, and deploying men who help create true disciples that can help the pastor in growing your church.

BUILD A TEAM OF MATURE AND TRANSPARENT LEADERS
Your leadership team should meet regularly to pray, plan, and discuss strategy. At your monthly meetings you should not only conduct the men’s ministry business but seek to become transparent, encouraging, and accountable to one another (Prov. 27:17). The servant-leader model or Christ’s ministry should be a standard adopted by your group (Matthew 20:26).

LAUNCH OR RE-LAUNCH YOUR PROGRAM
Have specific bench marks to evaluate and measure the effectiveness of your ministry and if necessary modify your objectives. Have real-time feedback coming from the men so you can become more effective. Focus on ministry, Bible studies, events, and programs that build-up and help mold your men into authentic disciples.
