Vision & Purpose
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
That each of our men is active and growing in their personal relationship with Christ (Phil. 3:12)
- They are pursuing Christ (Psalm 119:159; Phil 4:8-9)
- They are devoted to prayer (Eph 6:18; Col 4:2)
- They are devoted to the Word (Psalm 119:1-2; 100)
- Actively using the Armor of God (Eph 6:10-17)
That each of our men is well-connected with several other men (Eccles:4:9-12)
- They are serving together (Eph 4:16)
- They pray for one another (James 5:16)
- They support one another in life (1 Pet 4:8-9)
- They provide godly accountability for one another (Heb 10:24-25; Eph 4:15)
- They spend time enjoying fellowship with one another (Acts 2:42;44)
That each of our men is using their spiritual gifts in and outside the body of Christ (1 Corinthians12:14-26; Col 4:5; Eph. 4:15-16)

- That we are committed to the Lord, with a relationship centered on Christ
That each of our men is the spiritual leader in their family (1 Cor 11:3; Col 3:18-19)

- They are feeding into their children through modeling, teaching, encouragement, and by providing a safe and nurturing environment. (Col 3:21; Eph 6:4; Prov 1:8-9; Deut 6:7)
