Some Thoughts on an Online Community for Men’s Team Ministry

by |2 comments

Sharing is caring!

The more I think about developing an online community for men’s team ministry, the more excited I get. Here are my thoughts about what this community might look like. It will have three “spaces”: a meeting space, a classroom space, and a bonus space.

1. A meeting space for those of us who already have a men’s team ministry so that we can learn from each other, encourage each other and have access to exclusive content. This meeting space will host the following:

  • Instructional posts
  • Online webinars
  • A forum dedicated to issues involving men’s team ministry to the widowed and single parents.
  • A library of monthly devotionals
  • Interviews
  • Case studies
  • Additional men’s ministry resources for expanding beyond men’s team ministry

2. A classroom space for those interested in starting a men’s team ministry in their church. Here we will hold a 6 month course twice a year. The course will be done with online webinars and will have 3 components:

  • Two months for preparation and promotion
  • Two months for implementation
  • Two months for follow up and expanding your men’s ministry beyond just men’s team ministry

3. A bonus space for those interested in pursuing the practical implications of loving their neighbors on their block. This space will host:

  • Instructional posts
  • Online webinars
  • A separate forum dedicated to issues related to loving our neighbors
  • Interviews
  • Case studies

These are my thoughts about developing an online community for men who share a burden for men’s team ministry. Is there anything you would add?

Please keep me in your prayers as I develop this. It’s a lot of work and I face a huge learning curve.
