Check out the videos over at the blog of Mike Ellis and the other church for men dudes. I was going to post these videos myself, but just go watch them at Mike’s blog.
By the way, they are doing an awesome job there in Florida. I check out that blog every day. I think there needs to be a Church for Men in every community in the country since men are one of the largest “unreached people groups” that exists. Maybe they’re just neglected. Either way, look around your church this Sunday, and ask yourself, “Where are all the men?” I know that in the church I preach at, less than 20% are men. I’m trying to do some things to change that and I’m seeing some more men start to come, but as we all know, change is a slow process. Besides, I don’t have any real authority there…I’m just there for pulpit supply (How’s that for a convenient excuse?).
Hopefully, as I head toward church planting (see my two previous posts), at least one of the churches I plant will be a Church for Men. Thanks, Mike (and Louie and Frank) for leading the way!
P.S., check out www.churchformen.com for more on this. And while you’re at that site, buy David Murrow’s book and read it. I’ve also noticed a new church for men has started up here in Dallas. I need to go check it out.
Saw your post and you mentioned a Church for Men in Dallas. In more info? Is it up and running and if so where? I have searched on the internet and not found anything.
Thanks
Kevin,
The Church for Men in Dallas is actually meeting at LakePointe Church in Rockwall, TX.
It is hard to tell if it is a genuine church that meets within LakePointe, or if LakePointe views it as more of a “men’s ministry” arm of the church. I hope it’s the former. (See this blog post at Church for Men Florida for more about that issue.) Here is their website and blog where you can learn more.
