It’s no secret, New Beginnings Church is the process of intentionally and persistently realigning it’s proclamation and practices so that parents, especially fathers, are acknowledged, trained, engaged, and held accountable as the primary persons responsible for the discipleship of their children.

NBFamilies is committed to partnering with parents to raising their kids to be godly, difference makers in the world.

Our upcoming Men’s Ministry Golf Event is the launch experience to introduce men, especially fathers, to the one thing they absolutely must have to accomplish this goal. We will be introducing the men who attend this event to the gospel and the potential of resulting life change.

There will be golf contests (long drive, chipping, and putting) – as well as bad shot and trash talking. There will also be delicious home made cobbler and vanilla ice cream. Golf and cobbler are great, but the main reason for this event is calling men up to become gospel-driven, transforming disciples of Jesus Christ who will lead their families, their communities, and their church.

The modern culture has forced men into a tragically minor role in their kid’s lives. The industrial revolution (1750), compulsory education laws (1875), have separated men from their families – specifically their children. By the close of the 20th century, the typical American parent spent fewer than 15 minutes each week in significant dialogue with his child. 15 MINUTES EACH WEEK? That is tragic!

The percentage of parents highly to moderately involved in their children’s lives has declined:

• Declined from 75% in elementary school,
• Declined to 50% among middle school students.
• Declined so much that 75% of teenagers report that they have never experienced a meaningful conversation with their fathers. [DeVries. Family-Based Youth Ministry, 34].

We don’t have to be pessimistic about the future. NBMen is focused on obeying God’s Word so that it can provide a map for every father. God provides for every father the ability and insight to make wise and discerning choices to succeed in this broken world. It is important for fathers not to become discouraged and lose heart.

Please begin to pray that fathers will begin to realize God’s vision for their families. At the Men’s Ministry Golf Event we will challenge one another with this vision.

I hope you can join us.
