 The Mission Statement for the Church of the Nazarene is: “To make Christlike disciples in the Nations”.
Did you know. . .
So, how does one reach and disciple men? Dr. Patrick Morley, respected author on ministry to men, has written a book, Pastoring Men—What Works, What Doesn’t and Why It Matters Now More Than Ever, specifically designed to empower a pastor to more effectively disciple men. To examine several chapters of this book CLICK HERE. See what some Nazarene leaders have to say about this new resource. Dr. Morley explains Men’s Ministries as a strategy to reach and disciple every man; an explanation that corroborates our Nazarene Mission Statement. I believe it is a must-read for pastors and churches who want to truly impact the world for Christ. (Wm. Marshall Duke Coordinator, Men’s Ministries, Church of the Nazarene) Any church desiring to be effective in disciple-making will take seriously the need to disciple the men in their community. Pastoring Men is a helpful resource for the pastor looking to more effectively engage men in becoming Christ-like disciples. (Dr. Dan Copp, Clergy Development Director, Church of the Nazarene) Every pastor knows if you reach the man for Christ, you will more likely reach the entire family. Consequently, the discipling of men is strategic to fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission. Morley’s strategy is to disciple men who then can impact every arena of life and ministry. This book provides every pastor with the inspiration, strategy, and practical tools to disciple every man in the church. This excellent tool can create a continual flow of called, equipped, and committed lay leaders. It is a resource I and my leadership team will refer to time and time again. (Rev. Mark Fuller, Senior Pastor, Grove City Church of the Nazarene) Please pass this information along to your pastor and encourage him or her to acquire a copy of the book.
