Since 2003, New Commandment Men’s Ministries has been helping hundreds of churches around the world develop men’s team ministries so that their congregations can say “There is not a needy person among us.”
Most men's ministries seek to help men grow spiritually. New Commandment Men's Ministries does that too—but in a distinctive way. We believe one of the most effective ways to disciple men is to involve them in long-term, Christ-centered ministry to widows, single mothers, fatherless children, and others with pressing needs.
New Commandment Men’s Ministries and its men's team ministry model has been featured in the monthly publications of Rev Magazine, Leadership Network, Promise Keepers, and Man in the Mirror and has been written about in Why Men Hate Going to Church and The Externally Focused Church.
In addition, Focus on the Family, Moody Radio and Daystar Television have broadcast programs about New Commandment.
