About

SOMO Men’s Ministries exists to ENGAGE, EQUIP, and MOBILIZE today’s man and today’s local church in Southern Missouri to S.O.A.R. in their daily pursuit of Christ.

S = STRENGTH…to Stand, to Defend, and to Lead.

O = OBEDIENCE…to God’s Word, God’s Ways, and God’s Will.

A = ALIGNMENT…with God’s purpose for your life.

R = RELATIONSHIPS…with God, other Men, and the Next Generation

TO ENGAGE

Engage the Men of Southern Missouri to DISCOVER and ACCEPT Jesus Christ as Lord, AND to COMMIT to a life-long pursuit of being a fully devoted follower of Christ (disciple).

TO EQUIP

Equip church leadership to establish healthy and vibrant ministries to the men of the local church and their communities.

We will provide the necessary TRAINING and RESOURCES for the local church to build Healthy Men (spiritually, emotionally, and physically). Healthy Men will help produce healthy families. Healthy families are the skeletal structure of healthy churches, which is the Body of Christ in action!

TO MOBILIZE

Mobilize men to EMBRACE and EMBODY the mission of The Local Church, and to actively function in the Biblical pattern described in Acts 2:42-47.

Mobilized to REACH, CONNECT, GROW, WORSHIP, SERVE, GIVE, & YIELD.
