Men's team ministry spiritually, socially, and physically impacts not just the people being ministered to, but the men who serve them, the church they attend, the pastor who shepherds them all, even the community they live in.

New Commandment Men's Ministries is first and foremost a ministry to men and then a ministry through men.
New Commandment seeks to ground Christian men in the love of Christ by training men in three unique qualities of Christ's love: personal identification, commitment, and sacrifice. It then demonstrates how these qualities perfectly provide for the needs of widows and single moms.
Then New Commandment gives men the simple model of men's team ministry to widows and single moms, a model that enables men to put what they have learned about the love of Christ into practice.
What is it that widows need from the church? The answer to that question is found in another question. What have widows lost? What widows have lost is relationship. What they have lost is love.
New Commandment shows men that what widows need from the church is not just project ministry. What widows need from the church is relational ministry. What they need from the church is to be loved with the love of Christ.
Many single moms bear deep emotional scars from being abused and abandoned by men. New Commandment provides these women with a team of godly men who show up each month over years to serve and honor them, resulting in what is often profound emotional healing.
Men who have received New Commandment Men's Ministries training and get involved in men's team ministry become emotional healers for single moms and godly mentors for their children.
The last thing pastors need is one more responsibility. What pastors really need is less responsibility, not more. This is where New Commandment and men's team ministry come in.
Assigning teams of men to widows, single moms, and others with long term needs in your church will greatly supplement a pastor's congregational care responsibilities and give your pastor more time for other responsibilities, such as sermon preparation.
