For Men Only!

Men's ministry fails because it ends up being one more time for someone to get the men together and tell them how they should act.

Far too often churches end up thinking every get together is an opportunity to teach a lesson or preach a sermon.

where men are concerned, I don't think that is the best approach. It OUGHT to be about fellowship.

I believe in teaching. I believe in Sunday school. In fact, I don't think anyone should be allowed in leadership of a church if they aren't involved in Sunday school as either a teacher or a student. period. that includes the music department folk.

I believe in prayer meetings. Churches should have those on a regular basis.

but a men's ministry ought to be about the men and not another chance for Sunday school or a prayer meeting.

But if you want to be effective with a men's ministry, it better be something the men are willing to be a part of. where they can let their guard down and be real. Fish, hunt, camp, play golf, go to ball games. Find things that interest your men and make it something that they can be a part of. Let it be something they can invite friends to and develop Godly relationships with Godly men.
