# 11 – Six Step Ministry to Men Engagement Process

Step Three and Step Four 

Act Like Men – Men’s Leadership Podcast 

Sponsored by Men’s Ministry Catalyst

Outlined Show Notes

The Reality:   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.   

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 Three: Full Assessment, for all of the men in your church and Step Four: Developing an Action Plan.   For the podcast on Steps One and Two, pull up podcast #10 on our website:  Podcast Episodes Archive - Men's Ministry Catalyst (mensministrycatalyst.org) 

The Resources: On our website are several resources that are helpful in this journey – and they are free.   1) The full graph on the full Six Step Engagement strategy (feel free to print that off) Men's Ministry Development Process - Men's Ministry Catalyst (mensministrycatalyst.org);  2) Fill out a short survey to help you determine where your ministry to men is today in your local church: Men's Ministry Assessment - Men's Ministry Catalyst (mensministrycatalyst.org).  One more resource that MMC will make available to you.   We will offer an hour-long strategy consultation completely free; 3) For the Free Session of consulting, please reach out:  [email protected] and we will get back to your shortly to schedule our time together.  

The Result: When this simple, but not easy process is followed, you are way down the path of building an engaging ministry with your men, that will have an impact for generations yet to be born – Psalm 78:6. Our prayer is that you will be a catalyst for your local church to build out this engaging ministry within your congregation.    

In your opinion, how much difference is where the leadership thinks the men are verses where the men would say they are?  The full church assessment for men, gives the men a chance to share where they are in the spiritual journey, what they see their needs are, and what their social desires are as part of the ministry to men.  

Are you aware of a strategic plan for the ministry to men in your church?
