Why Men's Ministry?

Why Men's Ministry?

On a typical weekend, about 26 million men attend church services; 68 million do not.
During a typical week roughly 27 million men read the Bible; 67 million do not.
85% of all unchurched men were previously churched.
From 1992 to 1996, the average church attendance among men has declined from 43% to 28%.

Research revealed a startling statistic about the critical need for effective men's ministry in the church: "When a child is the first person in the family to come to faith, the rest of the family will follow 17% of the time". "When a mother or woman is the first person in the family to come to faith, the rest of the family will follow 31% of the time". "When a man/father is the first person of the family to come to faith, the rest of the family will follow 93% of the time!"

Add to this fact that men are more likely than women to be unchurched and that 75% of men do not attend church regularly, it becomes clear that there is a tremendous need for ministry that is focused on reaching men in and out of the church.
