Goals
Men are goal-orientated. They want to know when their goals will be achieved, and be able to regularly evaluate their effectiveness. One of the main goals of a Men’s Ministry must be to move men forward from converts to Christ, to followers, to disciples and then to leaders. Men need to see where they can be in 5 years’ time. Will your Men’s Ministry goals help them get there?

Survey
To develop an effective Men’s Ministry, it is crucial to know the state of your men. A survey is a powerful tool to achieve this, enabling you to have a sharp-shooter’s accuracy for planning your Men’s Ministry, as opposed to a buckshot approach. Promise Keepers has developed a specialised Ministry with Men survey, which has the added benefit of being able to compare the results from the men of your church with other men in churches throughout the nation.
