Why Men's Ministry

Why should your church focus on men?

Men are the backbone of our families and communities, yet often their spiritual needs are overlooked. By establishing a dynamic men’s ministry, you can:

Strengthen men’s relationships with God.

Build healthy marriages and households.

Ignite men to walk with God daily and be radically transformed.

Strengthen fathers to love and lead their children spiritually.

Foster necessary fellowship and camaraderie among men.

Empower men to take on leadership roles.

Positively impact your church and community.

Increase generosity within the church.

“My husband Adam attended his very first Men's Breakfast with the Men of Mariners Ministry. Since that time I have witnessed all the ways the Men's Ministry has radically impacted his life. I had prayed for many years that Adam would grow closer to God and to somehow be more connected to our Mariner’s community. Through Tim’s persistence and encouragement, Adam began attending monthly Men’s Breakfasts, and his first two Men’s retreats.

As he stepped into weekly Bible study, serving regularly, and becoming more involved with the Men's Ministry, I watched as my husband was transformed into a Man of faith; I watched as he grew closer to Jesus, learning to trust in Him and His plan for his life and for our marriage; I watched as he led our family in prayer for the very first time and listened as he shared his faith with our kids. For the first time in our 20 years together as a couple and as husband and wife, we prayed together, and he began to spiritually lead our family.

We are more connected to Jesus as a couple and as a family. Men need Men's ministry. Many times it can be difficult for Men to get involved and engaged. Tim is truly gifted in his ability to build community among men of all ages, various backgrounds, and stages in life.

Maverick River has played such an important role in continuing to build and foster community and I highly recommend Maverick River to other churches.”
