Step Five and Step Six  

Act Like Men – Men’s Leadership Podcast 

Sponsored by Men’s Ministry Catalyst

Outlined Show Notes

The Reality:   Reminder - Only 1% of men in most churches are actively engaged in the local ministry to men. In addition, ~10% of churches in America can sustain a ministry to their men over the long term.  One more stat that is a wake up call on our priority of time and resource allocation:  93% of the time, when a man comes to faith in Christ, his family will follow. 17% of the time when the woman of the home comes to faith in Christ the entire family will follow.  

The Reason:  Few churches in North America have a clear strategy and process to intentionally grow their men, and to build in processes that will sustain this ministry for the long term.   Men’s Ministry Catalyst (MMC) has a strategic Six Steps to Engagement strategy that has worked for hundreds of churches across North America.  In this podcast we will walk thru the next two steps:  Step Five: Developing Ministry Teams, that will provide tremendous leadership and support to building out a long term, growing ministry to men and Step Follow Up and Access: It is so important to create a culture of evaluation and care for all of your men by following up with any opportunities expressed by the men in this vital ministry.
