National Presbyterian Men’s Ministry

To equip and train all men to pursue the will of Jesus Christ
through discipleship, mission outreach and leadership education

We have a new name and mission statement, recommended by the Special Task Force and approved by the Council at the 2007 National Presbyterian Men’s Ministry (NPMM) conference in Louisville.

The president of Presbyterian Men, Dr. Kyung-il Ghymn asks, “What’s the main ‘will’ of Jesus Christ?” And he answers, “Go and make disciples of all nations and spread the gospel. From the beginning Jesus was talking about world mission and commending us to globalize God’s people.”

The three elements that characterize the work of NPMM — discipleship, mission outreach and leadership education — are not new to the church. Many men in congregations everywhere are participating in these activities, in groups and as individuals. We need to know about these things and publicize them to encourage more men to be more active in their churches.

Two more ways to encourage men in your church are “Man of the Year” recognition and “Men of the Church Sunday” (June 15, 2008). On the NPMM Web site you’ll find information about both programs.

If you want to keep up with some new and renewed thinking about men and their place in the church, visit David Murrow’s Web site. David was one of the keynote speakers at the 2007 Presbyterian Men’s Conference.

Look for us at the 2008 General Assembly meeting in San Jose, California, in June. We’d love to hear what you’re doing and how we can help.

Wherever and whenever men are engaged in the work of the church we want to remember that we are “Men in Mission, Together!”
