Men need God the Father’s emphasis, and they aren’t getting it in church. Most churches anyway. You are completely right though, if the church can reach the man, they’ve reached the family. So often it’s children’s and women’s ministries though, that churches focus on.

Our men, for the most part, are incredibly active but they don’t have scheduled “fun” get togethers to achieve this. We have many different home Bible studies going on throughout the week (instead of a mid-week prayer/Bible study time), and committee meetings that are full of men (Missions, Building Committee, Awana) that meet all the time. They’re hoping our new building with the gym, will give them a place to play basketball, etc, and hang out.

??? Good question ???

JK. Actually, our church has had a fabulous men’s ministry, using Robert Lewis’ Men’s Fraternity primarily, but many of us are happy to see it taking a backseat this year. Now that the men have had three years or so of weekly meetings to learn how to be Christian men, they need to be busy serving.

You may be surprised to learn that in our church we have more trouble getting ladies to serve than we do men.
