Purpose of Men's Ministry:
A dynamic men's ministry begins with a clear understanding of your
purpose as men in the church. Work with your pastoral and men's ministry
leadership to develop a Biblically-based vision statement for what you
want to accomplish in your men's ministry.

Helps For Dads
The following is an article from www.greatdads.org
A Word from Dr. Bob, your Fathering Coach ...
To jump start your journey down the Great Dad pathway, here's a fact to chew on:
If you spend one hour per week in one-on-one time with your child, the total amount of time you will have with that child by the time he or she leaves home at age 18 is 39 days -- 39 days, Dad!
My desire is to be your personal fathering coach for these precious few "days". You only have to choose to be part of the Great Dads team for me to have the privilege of coaching you. Though we are one of the most exciting, dynamic teams in America, there are no tryouts. All that's needed is a desire on your part to be a Great Dad to your kids and a commitment to spend some time at it by learning the 6 Basics of Being a Great Dad here at the Gathering Place and then putting them into play.
Like any good coach, I will always talk straight with you. We'll go over the dos and the don'ts: we'll go through the good times and the hard times together. A father's road can be a very blessed one, but it is not an easy one.
Thus, some things that I'll
be saying will probably make you a feel a bit guilty, certainly
challenge you, maybe even upset you. BUT what I share will also give you
hope, inspire you, make you laugh, encourage you and most of all give
you loads of practical suggestions about how to be a Great Dad.
