We are a religious non-profit ministry dedicated to
Helping men know Christ
Col. 1:27, 28
The Greatest Need in Men
The core issue for men is to know who they are – their essential identity. This is the fundamental reason for most problems in men’s lives. Men tend to live
out of a false idea of themselves which is dishonest and problematic. From the
Scriptures we know that there is only one answer to the need for a true and
honest self – Jesus. He is the life and identity every man was created to have.
NW Men’s Coalition (NWMC) wants to help every man personally know Jesus and realize He is his life. Colossians 1:27-29
We are a network of men who want to:
1. Help men know Jesus, not just be better men. Phil. 3:7-9
2. Encourage men to grow in the revelation of Jesus, not just about Jesus. 2 Pet.3:18
3. Stimulate men to see Jesus “formed” in not just added to their lives. Gal. 4:19
4. Teach men how to be in union with Christ living in, as and through them. John 17:21; Phil. 3:9; Gal. 2:20
5. Create environments where men can encourage one another in their walk as Jesus. Col. 3:16; Eph. 5:19-21
NWMC wants to help men know Christ better, not just be better men
Stimulating Personal Discovery
NWMC seeks to stimulate the conversation and discovery of what it means for a man to live in and as Christ. How can the truth of Col. 1:27 and Gal 2:20 be lived out?
Environments
NMWC seeks to host highly engaging and relational environments where men can authentically discover the Christ Life. These include personal and group meetings and periodic large group meetings.
