Why Men's
Ministry? |
- On a
typical weekend, about 26 million men attend church services; 68
million do not.
- During a
typical week roughly 27 million men read the Bible; 67 million
do not.
- 85% of
all unchurched men were previously churched.
- From 1992
to 1996, the average church attendance among men has declined
from 43% to 28%.

James
1:22 |
|
"be doers of the word, and not merely hears."
God's plan for each of us is first to become
something new, and then to do new things in God's will.

Research
revealed a startling statistic about the critical need for
effective men's ministry in the church: "When a child is the first
person in the family to come to faith, the rest of the family will
follow 17% of the time". "When a mother or woman is the first
person in the family to come to faith, the rest of the family will
follow 31% of the time". "When a man/father is the first person
of the family to come to faith, the rest of the family will follow
93% of the time!" Add to this fact that men are more likely than
women to be unchurched and that 75% of men do not attend church
regularly, it becomes clear that there is a tremendous need for
ministry that is focused on reaching men in and out of the church.
