Team Values

Fellowship
The typical man is isolated and many of his troubles are related to this condition. The healthy man is connected to other men in meaningful fellowship, often through the vehicle of small groups which include accountability, Bible study, and prayer. It is good and necessary for men to be with other men in a meaningful way.

Discipleship
Perhaps the biggest frustration in most churches is the lack of mature men. On the flipside, one of the greatest contributors to church health is a Christ-like man. We want to teach men to obey Christ’s commands and to grow his character which is the foundation of his leadership. We seek to grow him into God's man.

Ministry
Men are hard wired to “do”. This is their opportunity to serve the body of Christ. Our churches need men to grow in their faith and to “get into the game!”  It’s time for the men to step back up to the plate and become active leaders who lead by example. For too long men have sat back and watched women lead a majority of the ministries in today’s churches. No more Lazy Boys!

Evangelism
God’s man is connected, growing, and serving in the church. This next step is the key to reproduction, he must be sent out. He can go to the world, or next door to his neighbor. He will deliver the word and work of Christ. God’s man is sharing his faith and caring for the world.  God’s man says…”anytime, anywhere, anybody, in any way…i’m yours”. Drop your nets and follow him!

Worship
Men are made to love God with all their hearts. Men need to make God number one in both heart and action. This includes surrender as well as celebration. Worship is integrated in all of the other values. This is “keeping the main thing, the main thing.”  Everything flows from the heart of a man – loyalty, honoring, and sacrifice. This is the most important value … and most mistaken by men. We are good at doing, but not so good at being.

Leadership
God has given many men positions of influence, yet sadly they are often unprepared to meet the challenges and opportunities that come with this leadership role. Your church’s men’s ministry can be a “leadership farm system” that delivers capable men who will make a Godgiven impact at their home, work, church, and community.
