Imani Men of Honor Ministry

The Imani Men of Honor Ministry complements the overall ministry of Imani Restoration Center Church by focusing our ministries specifically toward men. The goal is to bring men to maturity in Christ (Colossians 1:28; Ephesians 4-6) by helping them understand God’s purpose for them and fulfill their God-given roles as men…

 

The objectives of Imani Men of Honor Ministry is to disciple and equip the men of Imani Restoration Center Church in their roles as men of God, whether married, single, older, younger. We seek to provide a venue for modeling the life of Christ to men. We seek to do this through teaching, fellowship, and service; providing opportunity for fostering spiritual friendships and developing discipling relationships, so that men can grow in conformity to Christ, specifically in their roles as men.

The rationale for this is simple. Men have been given the key role in the Body of Christ. All believing men of the church, from senior pastor to any believing man in the pew, have the responsibility to walk with Christ in obedience and grow in conformity to his image. Men, married or single, often live isolated from the active fellowship of other Christian men. Proverbs 27.17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” The principle given here is that men need the encouragement, teaching, fellowship, and modeling of the Christian life from other men. To meet the stated objective the Imani Men of Honor Ministry carries out the following:

• Monthly breakfasts, featuring teaching directly applicable to men in their roles. Our breakfasts provide time for prayer and developing godly friendships.

• Men’s small groups, providing an opportunity for Bible study and prayer, building spiritual friendships and discipling relationships.

• Retreats, where men can spend extended time receiving teaching, enjoying fellowship and developing relationships.

• Discipleship pairing: We are proactively involved in connecting men in discipling relationships (to disciple or be discipled).
