MENS MINISTRY

The objective of Men’s Ministries is to disciple and equip the men of ABC in their roles as men of God, whether married, single, older, younger.

We seek to provide a venue for modeling the life of Christ to men. We seek to do this through teaching, fellowship, and service; providing opportunity for fostering spiritual friendships and developing discipling relationships, so that men can grow in conformity to Christ, specifically in their roles as men.

The rationale for this is simple. Men have been given the key role in the Body of Christ. All believing men of the church, from pastoral Person to any believing man in the pew, have the responsibility to walk with Christ in obedience and grow in conformity to his image. Men, married or single, often live isolated from the active fellowship of other Christian men. Proverbs 27.17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” The principle given here is that men need the encouragement, teaching, fellowship, and modeling of the Christian life from other men.

What is unique about Men’s Ministries?

We seek to pair mature mentors with men who wish to be disciples. Our ministries are working toward meeting men where they are at in order to bring them to where God wants in the areas of:

•being disciples (‘disciple’ means ‘learner’)
•developing spiritual friendships with other men, younger and older, single and married
•learning godly habits and how to deal with those areas of sin that men commonly struggle with
•learning how to be leaders (at home and church)
•learning to raise children, love their wives
•learning to serve the Body of Christ and exercise their gifts
prayer
•learning to be disciplers in their homes and church and share their faith serious study and personal application of the Word

We seek to expose men to solid Bible teaching (both expository and topical) specifically directed to men’s issues.
