We have come a long way—we’ve built a sanctioned national platform for the Christian men’s movement with the vision, “A disciple-making ministry to men in every church…. “ We’ve created a forum to build relationships with likeminded leaders, a place to receive encouragement, and a way to network and form ministry alliances.

Everyone on the Steering Committee is absolutely committed to the goal of sustaining the Men’s Movement that God has so graciously blessed for many years.
