What We Do
Our Focus:
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. Our mission is to provide pastors and lay-leaders with the counsel, services, and resources they need to successfully reach men for Christ and to eliminate the failure and frustration that often comes with trying to develop an effective ministry to men. Since 1981 we have counted it a privilege to partner with pastors, churches, men’s organizations, and denominations to assist them in the development and implementation of a biblically-based, vibrant, and engaging ministry to men.
We do this by:
- Developing life changing curriculum, videos and program models that help churches equip, connect, and engage men in issues of faith
- Assisting men to better connect with their families, work places and communities
- Providing innovative resources and training for spiritual growth and outreach
- Creating platforms like business communities, the outdoors, and team sports to reach uninvolved men
- Developing practical solutions to help bring men into the church and have them become dynamic resources to support the pastors
MMC offers a robust suite of services and resources that direct men to an innovative way of thinking about their faith on relevant topics such as:
- Lifestyle Evangelism – Living a transparent and relational life
- Mentoring – Defining what it means to lead by example
- Discipleship – Empowering men and preparing them to lead
- Transitions – How to inspire and motivate men to make the sacrifices required to live a Christ-like life
- Intergenerational Issues – How to develop authentic disciples that influence younger generations
- Managing Stress – Balancing life’s priorities and living by God’s plan
Why Minister to Men?
Godly men are mission critical for the growth of the Church and the stability our nation
- It is a biblical mandate Matt. 28:18-20; Romans 12
- The health and vitality of the church is directly linked to the participation of men
- 93% of the time, when a man comes to faith – his family will also come to faith
- Fatherless children are five times more likely to live in poverty, crime, and have emotional issues
- 50-60% of men struggle with pornography
- Society is suffering because of the lack of positive male leadership and role models
- Men need to be more pro-active spiritual leaders within their homes, churches, and communities
- Discipleship and mentoring are vital for the younger generation
- The average male feels he is making a living but not living a fulfilled life
“Society has torn the soul of the male, and into this tear the demons have fled – The demons of insecurity, selfishness, and despair. Consequently, men do not know who they are as men. Rather, they define themselves by what they do, who they know, or by what they own.” ~Alexander Mitscherlich

- How We Partner With You – Effective ministry to men is more than a program, Bible study, or monthly breakfast.
