About New Commandment Men's Ministries and its Leadership

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.”

What Makes New Commandment Men's Ministries Different?

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.

  • Men are both the ministers and the ones being ministered to. As men serve together, God uses those relationships to deepen their faith, strengthen their character, and equip them for every good work.
  • Long-term relationships instead of one-time projects. Teams permanently adopt care receivers, often serving them for months and years.
  • Teams rather than individuals. Groups of four men provide encouragement, accountability, safety, and lasting friendships.
  • Completely free training. Every video, handbook, and implementation resource is available without charge.
  • Biblically grounded. The ministry model is based on the New Testament pattern of caring for people with long-term needs, especially as seen in Acts 2, Acts 4, Acts 6, Acts 20, and Titus 3:14.
