The Purpose of ManChurch Columbus

From the very beginning, FreeSpirit Ministries has attempted to address the intrinsic needs of men. We declared "Men Need Ministry!" very loudly and very proudly, but the foundation of our perspective is the thought that men can change, grow, and seek out their God and His purposes by way of the Spirit. This Spiritual transformation and development is purposed for every man, regardless our preceptions of him.

Normal church fellowships have never been enough to ignite men, to fill and sustain them. Sunday morning worship services are often seen as a waste of time because all too often the only sermon geared toward men is the one on Father's Day. If we are weakened by the lack of a good spiritual meal, then who will support our children, our teen aged men, or our young men in the fear and admonition of the Lord? How can hurt men find healing, support, and a catalyst for change through outmoded paradigms of religious Christianity?

ManChurch (Church for Men) is a partial response to the obvious need of men for Spiritual mentorship. For one day a month, men can come together with other men and embark on a great worship adventure! It is this place that 'iron can sharpen iron' and men can be set free from personal bondages and spiritual oppression. So ManChurch is purposed to:

  1. Be an additional support to men irregardless of their church affiliation, cultural perspective, or economic status.
  2. Provide a service in support of the community in which we live by partnering with other churches and ministries, sponsoring community-based programs and various volunteer opportunities.
  3. Assist men to re-prioritize their relationship with God by way of their partnership and accountability to other men.
  4. Provide relevant example and sound biblical instruction as God's desired course of action in building Godly Men.
  5. Provide a worship adventure where men can freely share, be nurtured and grow.

ManChurch is not for the weak or squeemish. ManChurch is for men who don't go to church, for those who are dissatisfied with church, or those who need a safe-haven to try something new. So, if you are looking for fun, for substance, or for change, we invite you to attend the next ManChurch gathering!
