OUR CALLING | OUR IDENTITY | OUR PHILOSOPHY | OUR HOPE

We believe God has designed manhood to uniquely reflect the strength of God that acts to bring life and blessing to the world.

 

We believe God intends boys to be called into manhood through a relationship with their father that communicates 3 things:

  • “It’s possible to be a man—watch me as I do it”
  • “I believe in you—you’re not alone!”
  • “You can do it—don’t be afraid to try!”

When a boy fails to receive this message from his father he will typically go into adulthood seeking to receive it from his wife.  Because “masculinity begets masculinity” seeking one’s masculinity from the feminine will only create terrible frustrations for both man and woman. 

 

For this reason we believe it is only in the community of men that a man can have his masculinity fully called forth.
