MEN'S MINISTRY ORIENTATION


 

Register Here

SPONSORED BY MAN IN THE MIRROR MINISTRIES w/ Ron Jones

We are losing our younger generations. Young men are alienated, wounded, and skeptical that churches will change. They are leaving the church in droves. 

 

They need touchpoints to reality and real relationships. XSF encourages, educates, and empowers the mature Christian men in your church with a roadmap to give younger generations hope and direction. We need men who will disciple other men.

  • Goal:  To have MEN from every church committed to participate in the Orientation and see if this Training would be suitable for you and your church.
  • Cost:  Orientation is FREE
  • Date:  Saturday November 2, 2024
  • Time: 11:00am - 2:00pm
  • Doors Open at 10:30am (Registration is available online)

 

What is this Conference about?

  • Create, capture and sustain momentum among men
  • Move from an isolated “men’s ministry” mindset to an all-inclusive discipleship approach
  • Always show men a credible “next step” in their walk with Christ
  • Maximize the effectiveness of the opportunities already in place
  • Overcome current obstacles in reaching your men that are specific to your church
  • And much more!

WHAT IS INSIDE THE TRAILER

GOAL
Evangelism Events are known for bringing neighborhoods together, creating relationships and providing gospel-centered opportunities for mutual aid when the need arises. Reaching an unbelieving community in a non-threading way, outside the four walls of a church, is an effective way to contact those who do not attend any church. This $300.00 resource accommodates the use of regular ministry services and events that would support our local churches within any irregular guidelines or restrictions regulated toward doing ministry.
