***Men's
Ministries***
Timon Waugh - Men ministries director
Our
Mission
There
are three dimensions to the mission of Men's Ministry in the
Church
of
God
of Prophecy
The
Local, The State/National, and The
International.
These
three are inter-related, but each carries out a distinct portion of the overall
mission.
At the local church, the mission
is to provide a vital ministry within the male context that
results in the building of godly men who exhibit integrity, identity,
intimacy, and influence.
At
the state/national offices, the mission is to affirm, coordinate, and network
local church efforts, and to provide larger-scale contexts for men's ministry.
At
the international offices, the mission is to encourage, facilitate, and provide
resources for building godly men.
Our
Vision
Our
vision is for a vital men's ministry in every local church in the
Church
of
God
of Prophecy. A vital ministry is one
that consistently provides a life-giving flow of ministry to the needs of men,
while at the same time involving them in ministry to others. The source of the
vitality is the Holy Spirit working in and through anointed local leadership.
