3 Ways to Start a Men’s Team Ministry to Your Widowed and Single Parents

Men’s team ministry to their widowed and single parents is not rocket science. It’s easy to start one in any church. Here are three ways to begin a men’s team ministry in yours.

First Way – Steal Our Idea!

Actually, men’s team ministry to their widowed and single parents isn’t our original idea anyway. I learned about men’s team ministry about twenty years ago from a church in Omaha, Nebraska. We’ve been popularizing it ever since.

Our goal is to help your church mobilize its men to meet pressing needs. You’re welcome to take the basic men’s team ministry concept and implement it in your church any way you wish.

Second Way – Start a Men’s Team Ministry for $1

You can join Meeting to Meet Needs for a one week trial for $1, download any material you wish, including all of our training material, with permission to copy it, and then cancel your membership. If you do so within one week, your total cost will be $1. Here are the steps to do it.

• Go to Join Now at NewCommandment.org and select the first plan: “#1 Monthly Membership with $1 for 7 Day Trial.”
• Make the $1 payment.
• Sign in and go to Membership Home.
• Underneath the welcome video select “Download Training Material.”
• Download the 80 minute orientation video: “Developing a Men’s Team Ministry to Widows, Widowers, and Single Parents.” This is what you’ll use to train your men.
• Download the orientation workbook: “Developing a Men’s Team Ministry to Widows, Widowers and Single Parents.”
• Make as many copies of the workbook as you think you’ll need for your orientation.
• Download the devotional: “Doing Good Well: 30 Meditations of Developing a Biblical and Focused Discipline of Good Works.”
• Make as many copies of the devotional as you think you’ll need.
• Download any other material on the membership site.
• Cancel your membership within seven days and keep everything you download.
• Hold your orientation for your men.
• Start your men’s team ministry!

Total cost: $1.

If you don’t cancel your trial membership within seven days, it will automatically convert to a monthly membership at $9.99 a month. (This price is going up for new members who join starting February 1, 2018. See below.)

Third Way – Stick Around and Start a Men’s Team Ministry Using Our Membership Site, Meeting to Meet Needs

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If you continue with Meeting to Meet Needs, we can take you through the process of starting a men’s team ministry step by step. We have a six month video series, complete with articles and handouts, that will give you detailed information on how to recruit, train, organize and deploy your teams. Along the way, you’ll learn tons of things about men’s ministry in general.

Whatever way you choose, we hope you succeed in starting a men’s team ministry to their widowed and single parents in your church and become the blessing God intended you and your men to be.
