Men’s Ministry in the PCA: Helping PCA men to become complete in Christ
Men’s Ministry in the PCA: Helping PCA men to become complete in Christ
Purpose
The mission of PCA Men’s Ministry is to: foster, encourage, and assist the development of significant ministries to, by, for, and among PCA men to help them become perfect (complete) in Christ.
Strategy
The Committee on Christian Education and Publications has implemented a plan to conduct basic training sessions for churches on the importance of discipling men in the faith. The training will include suggestions for materials and resources as well as "how to’s" for beginning a men’s discipling ministry.
In the way of resource materials CE/P has produced a basic twelve week Bible study written by Dr. Pete Deison of Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, TX. They Walked and Talked With Jesus is a good "get started" study featuring different encounters Jesus had with people in his earthly ministry. There is a leader’s audio cassette that gives the group leader an overview of the studies, and tips for teaching each lesson.
CE/P is planning to network with churches by providing information on other materials and seminars being used by various PCA churches. Study guides for certain books already available in the marketplace will also be developed by CE/P.
Financial Needs
Christian Education and Publications is trusting the Lord to supply the financial resources to move forward in this much needed ministry in the PCA. The cost of bringing an expanded leadership team together in Atlanta several times a year and producing the above mentioned materials places a burden on CE/P’s budget.
It is hoped that both individuals and churches will catch the vision to partner with CE/P in this great endeavor. Think of the satisfaction a donor can derive in knowing they play a part in helping turn the tide toward godly male leadership within the American culture and the PCA.
