Male Mentoring - The Brotherhood of Life
The Challenge
The Brotherhood of Life recognizes the need for strong male mentoring within our church body. Too many of our young men and boys are falling through the cracks and failing to become the men of valor God created them to be. Many of them are becoming incarcerated, having babies out of wedlock, engaging themselves in harmful behavior, getting involved with drugs and alcohol and simply are not transitioning into manhood effectively.
The Mission
The Brotherhood of Life Monday Night Mentoring program exists to help boys and young men to matriculate effectively into purposeful, Godly manhood and to provide the necessary tools and support for success.
The Program
The Brotherhood of Life Monday Night Mentoring Program offer a weekly, faith-based mentoring class for boys and young men that will help them to matriculate more effectively into becoming mighty men of God. Our plan is to engage them on their level, educate them on the natural and spiritual development of manhood, and challenge them to become the men of valor God intended for them to be.
The Format
Our sessions consist of lessons, open discussions and activities. Below are some examples of the lessons and activities. We also solicit ideas from participants and parents.
The Facilitators
This program is facilitated by the Brotherhood Committee members. We draw from a deep pool of in-house sources for teachers as well as outside help when necessary.
