The Men's Ministry of King's Grant exists to help men experience gospel transformation in the context of an authentic community. As the gospel penetrates men's lives it will move them out in servant leadership in their families, the church and to those in need. 

The Men of Steel recently showed the COURAGEOUS movie at King's Grant, with about 230 people in attendance. I hope the men heard the intentional challenge at the end and we want to provide some practical "Next Steps" for a dad ready to make a change. A two-hour film does not bring change, only hopes and good intentions. Getting involved with other men in a small group context will help you put new principles into practice.

Honor really does begin at home. We hope you will leave inspired and challenged to live honorably and leave a lasting impact on the next generation. Maybe you connected with one of the characters in the movie because of your relationship with your dad or your own role as a parent and now you are wondering what to do next to strengthen your own family.

At King's Grant Baptist Church, we believe in the power of God to change men and families. We want to be a resource for moms and dads and a place where families are strengthened. Here are some potential courageous next steps.

1. Begin praying for (and with) your children.
2. Write a letter to your own father. It may be a letter saying thanks for being a great dad or a letter offering overdue forgiveness for the ways he may have hurt you. If your father is not a believer, use the letter as a means to share Christ.
3. Sign up for a COURAGEOUS Living small group. Our groups will begin in February; here are the dates and locations:
1. Tuesdays at 7:30am at Denny's, Feb. 7, 14, 21, 28, with Skip Wallace
2. Tuesdays at 7:00pm at KGBC, Feb 7, 14, 21, 28, with Tom Vaughan and Jim Zecchini
3. Thursdays at 7:00pm at KGBC, Feb. 2, 9, 16, 23, with Rickey Douglas
4. Saturdays at 8:00am at KGBC, Feb. 4, 11, 18, 25, with Scott Chafee
• Fill out a COURAGEOUS Living card, or visit us online at www.KingsGrantBaptist.com/movie.
4. Consider joining us for our Sunday morning worship experiences each week at 8:30 or 11:00 in order to grow in your faith, find faith or learn how to become a courageous dad. Regular Bible study happens at 9:45 each Sunday morning; there is a class for every member of the family.

Children spell love T-I-M-E. Take a look at this video, and make necessary changes before it's too late.

We are reorganizing in the fall 2011. We will get the men back together soon.

Has there been too much talk about being radical in our faith, pushing people out of their comfort zone, or toning down our influence in the community? What does God call us to do? [ Take a Look at This Brief Video ]

Men today want to be Superman for their spouse, their kids and appear to have it all together. But even Superman had his vulnerability; kryptonite! This is a call to men, to become a Man of Steel, living out Proverbs 27:17, "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." So, we created Men of Steel... 

Find out more and join us on Saturdays at 7:30 am at the KGBC Welcome Center. You'll probably be back before your family even gets up or knows you've been gone! I'm going to post topics each week. If you join the e-mail list, you'll get the same information in your inbox by Wednesday or Thursday before the Saturday get-together. 

Men's ministry is so much more than just providing activities for men, like men are looking for something else to add to their schedules! Consider this information: 

Add to this list... that eight do not find their jobs satisfying, six pay only the monthly minimum on credit cards, and the four who get divorced will affect 1 million children each year. Indeed, men are in a battle for their souls; and many don't even realize it. Do we believe that we are immune to these problems?

What about discipleship? The biblical model is not outdated: You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Paul writing to Timothy, in 2 Timothy 2:1-2. 

So, how does a disciple wannabe find a "Paul" who is willing to invest his life into another person? How can a mature believer find a "Timothy" who desires to learn and grow into an authentic follower of Christ? 

Think of what a ministry to men can do for our community, for marriages, families and businesses... ponder, plan and pray with me about how God will work in the life of our congregation, and that a ministry specifically involving men can come to fruition. Share your ideas!

Men's Ministry is the active pursuit of men in order to connect them to God, His Word, and other men for the purpose of winning, growing, and training God's men in Christ. 

Can a men's ministry enable a man to better understand his calling in life and how to achieve it? Can a men's ministry challenge a man to grow deeper in intellect, emotion, and spirit? Can a men's ministry teach men how to stay sexually pure? The answer to this question is a resounding yes! 

Every man involved in ministry in King's Grant Baptist Church is a part of the Men's Ministry, whether or not they ever come to a prayer breakfast!

Here are eight biblically-balanced benchmarks for a healthy ministry to men. 

FILLING - God's man is able to feed himself. Consistently studying and applying God's Word independent of the church or small group is essential. To do this, a man must be taught how to study the Bible. (1 Peter 2:1-3; Psalm 1:1-3).

TRAINING - God's man receives regular biblical instruction (1 Thessalonians 2:13). This can be achieved through a weekly small-group Bible study.

PRACTICING - God's man learns how to apply God's Word to all areas of life. It is essential to allowing room for accountability within the men's ministry for the purpose of consistency and obedience to God's Word (James 1:22-25; Ezekiel 33:30-32).

UNITING - God's man makes it a priority to connect with other men (at least two times a month) for the purpose of community, accountability, confession, and prayer (Galatians 6:1-3; James 5:16; Hebrews 10:23-24).

SURVIVING - God's man learns to address major life temptations and/or crises according to his need and life-stage. Support and encouragement from the small group is essential (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).

REACHING - God's man gets involved in some form of men's ministry based on his gifts and talents. God has called each of us to pour out to others what He has poured into us (1 Peter 4:10-11; Ephesians 4:11-13) 

IMPACTING - God's man invests time and resources into the lives of other men; through shared activities, spiritual mentoring, and modeling (2 Timothy 2:22; Proverbs 27:17; Mark 3:13-14).

SHARING - God's man learns to actively share his faith in order to lead others into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15; Matthew 28:18-20).
