Our Elder

Why a ministry for men and men alone? And why do we encourage men to do stuff on their own as groups of guys? Are we sexist? Are we encouraging gender division?

First let’s think statistics; Over the last 20 years 38% of believing men left the church. In fact for men aged under 30, nearly 50% left in the same period of time. Now that’s believing men deciding they don’t want to go to church anymore! So we are facing a crisis before we even think about reaching men who aren’t yet believers. The decline is pretty terminal. In 30 years time there could be zero men left in church communities in the UK.

Thats why we have come together as men to encourage the young men in the church.
