A Curated Collection of Tools to Build Men's Ministries
BetterMan
Our mission at BetterMan is to activate men’s lives to a “better” masculinity; one that lifts up others, builds up others, and gives life to others. This is the true masculinity God designed from the beginning for men to pursue. Our passion is to help men discover and implement that design by fostering a growing community of men who desire a better, more fulfilling life from our work, family, friends, marriages, and from our relationship with God.
BetterMan teachers—live or on video—deliver expertly crafted curriculum that weaves the challenging realities of modern-day life with the practical wisdom of the Bible.

BENEATH THE SURFACE compares and contrasts two of scripture's best known men--Joseph and David. Both were faced head-on with sexual temptation. One stood tall--and one fell flat. And it all centered on the choices they made.
Men's Ministry Catalyst
To Know God and Make Him Known. Fundamental to all we do is our emphasis on evangelism (outreach) and building lasting relationships through a discipleship process. Our mission is to provide pastors and lay-leaders with the counsel, services, and resources they need to successfully reach men for Christ and to eliminate the failure and frustration that often comes with trying to develop an effective ministry to men. Since 1981 we have counted it a privilege to partner with pastors, churches, men’s organizations, and denominations to assist them in the development and implementation of a biblically-based, vibrant, and engaging ministry to men.

Mighty Men Movement
Mighty Men of Prayer
Most men’s ministry leaders want to see their men find meaning and impact the Kingdom of God. The challenge is discipleship takes time and building a process to multiply disciples is difficult.
At Mighty Men Movement, we’ve seen hundreds of men make a lasting Kingdom impact. The difference has been helping men develop a daily prayer a habit, and having other men to grow with.
Is that hard? NO, but men struggle to take action. So, we’ve developed a 8-part Mighty Men of Prayer video series to lead them through it. This series is perfect for use in person use or via Zoom, where men can grow together with a group of friends.
The simplicity of the process is what we call the Team Multiplier Plan. The guided video series allows a group of men who has finished the study, to easily turn around and lead another group of men through it. Through multiplication, the initial group grows quickly as men of prayer, faith and discipleship.
