People often joke: “You have a greater chance seeing Marvin Gaye (R.I.P) at the Superbowl than seeing men attend church.”  Although some men attend church regularly, it is a fact many do not attend…at least not with the frequency and regularity women.

Churches from every country, race, and ethnic group all ask: Where are the men? According to Church for Men website, “Women comprise more than 60% of the adults in the typical worship service in America. Some overseas congregations report ten women for every man in attendance. Volunteer ranks are heavily female.”

This is not the case at Mars Hill.  Men regularly attend our worship experiences and are not embarrassed or afraid to worship God.  In fact, there were a few occasions when our men led worship. If you find this hard to believe, check out the picture below.  That’s right…men kneeling at the altar…going after God with everything they have.

There are many books, blogs, and websites that list endless reasons why men do not attend church regularly.  However, this is not the focus of today’s post.  You can click the aforementioned links to learn why some men do not attend church regularly.  Today I want to highlight something very positive that’s happening at Mars HillOur “ALL MEN’S WORSHIP EXPERIENCE.”

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING more powerful then Men of God worshiping God in Spirit and Truth!  On Friday, April 22, 2011 at 8PM, once again the Mars Hill Baptist Church of Chicago will make history as men gather for our All Men’s Worship Service.  Our theme: “I AM THE MAN” specifically challenges men to:

  1. Lead their families well
  2. Responsibly handle their finances
  3. Change & Impact their communities
  4. Make a difference

 

Our All Men’s Service is part of our Easter Weekend Celebration.  You can learn more Easter Weekend HERE.  Bring a brother & join us for this AWE INSPIRING gathering. For more information visit www.marshillchgo.org.
