35 Ideas For Men’s Ministry
4×4 Bushwalk and Mountain Biking
Calling all men. Saturday, 2nd May, we are heading to Mt
Mee. What’s on offer? Bush walking (a nice long one),
4WD or even mountain biking. We will all start from The
Gantry picnic ground on Mt Mee. The walkers have a
13km walk ahead of them, the 4WDers and their
passengers have a day of fun in the bush and the
mountain bike riders peddling through the many trails.

A is for Ale and J is for Jesus
A is for Ale is a once a year meeting place for men to do
what men like to do – enjoy good beer, good food and
great conversation with their mates. But it’s different
from the local bistro, as the beers are tasted and
explained, the meeting place is a church hall, the mates
are a mixture of church lads and their friends and the
topic of religion is well worth a good chat about.
via St Luke’s Anglican Church, Miranda.
Anger Management Course
“Helping angry men in Melbourne’s west battle their
demons and become a man of peace is the aim of a new
program. Developed by the Melton Baptist Church,
Pastor Albert Peck said the network was inspired by the
journeys of many men in the community who had been
wrestling with anger issues. He said a couple of years
ago a small support group was formed at the church for
men, struggling with their anger, to be able to talk, share
and grow.”
via Melton Baptist Church.
Band of Brothers
Currently we have seven men’s small groups (our Band
of Brothers) who meet on Wednesday nights in the
Upper Room to study the Bible and prayerfully
encourage each other on as men of God.
via St Matthew’s Anglican Church, Manly.
Beer, Blokes and BBQ
“We get together and enjoy some social time at Tony B’s
place to try a couple of beers, share some stories and
hear from a guest speaker. If you don’t drink, not to
worry – you are also welcome as non-alcoholic drinks
are available.”
via The Lakes Anglican Church.
Blokes, Babies and Bacon
A men-only baby and toddler session with bacon
sandwiches, big screen sport and plenty of toys.
via St Paul’s Church, Hertfordshire.
Blokes Biz
Blokes Biz, a relaxed time where men get together every
Monday night to have a BBQ, chat, help others and
support each other. Men can drop in any time they want
between 6:00pm -7:30pm. This group is designed for
men to connect. We cover many topics such as:
discouragement, fear, depression, loneliness, sex,
fathering and many other bloke topics. Every man has
the opportunity to share what’s on his heart and we
always finish the night by praying for each other. Men if
you want to connect somewhere, without having to be
committed then this is the group for you.
via Macquarie Life Church.
Blokes Curry Nights
The Men’s Ministry at Whyalla Baptist Church meet
every 2 months to share a meal at the hugely popular
Blokes Curry Nights at the local Tandoori Guru
restaurant. These times are an encouraging experience
of fellowship, food and fun as Godly men we seek to be
more like Jesus.
via Whyalla Baptist Church.
Blokes Stuff (Frankston Church of Christ)
A place for husbands, dads, lads, brothers, uncles,
fellas, single men (18+) – who seek positive change for
themselves and those in relationships with them.
via Frankston Church of Christ.
Crewmen
Quarterly breakfasts where men gather to focus on
greater issues of life from a Christian perspective.
via St Paul’s Castle Hill.
Cuban Club
Politics, Religion, and Fine Cigars…Gent’s welcome to
the Cuban Club. Usually held straight after our Men’s
events..If you occaisionally indulge in fine cigars and
enjoy a conversation with your fellow men then the
Cuban Club is for you.
via Life Church.
Dads ’n’ Lads
A great opportunity for fathers and their sons to get out
and have some fun amongst other dads and sons
through activities like bon-fires, go-karting and sports.
Not restricted to fathers and sons only but open to
grandfathers, uncles, big brothers and guardians too.
via Life Christian Church.
Fight Club
“What is the fight? What is the strategy? Fight Club is a
meeting of men on the first Saturday of the month at
PBC from 8-10am. Breakfast is provided but the purpose
of it is much more than a bunch of blokes getting
together for brunch. We are passionate about Jesus
Christ and walking in His ways. We recognise that we
are not meant to follow Christ on our own and therefore
we meet to declare our unity and commitment to Christ
and to each other. We expose a fight that may be taking
us off course with Jesus and then we determine a battle
strategy for the month (and ongoing) to set us apart
from the pack. All men are welcome but one thing we
ask – come ready to take up the challenge!
via Pambula Baptist Church.
Fitness 4 Blokes
Fitness 4 Blokes was formed in August 2012 and each
Saturday morning several men workout together from
7.00 a.m. to 8.00 a.m. The group normally trains in the
Berwick Anglican Church hall, but during the warmer
months takes the opportunity to exercise outside as
much as possible, either in the church grounds or at a
local park…The group is open to men aged 18 to
55 from within and outside the church. There are no
fees charged as this is a free service to the church and
the broader community…
via Berwick Anglican Church.
Footy Finals Extravaganza
This Saturday night we are gathering in a casual way to
connect with other blokes on the same journey. We will
smash some pies, watch some classic quarters of footy
and generally just hang out together.
via Encounter Church.
Free Labour
We are regular guys from the Baptist Churches on the
North Shore. We are motivated to love our community in
practical ways because of the love God has lavished on
us.
via Northcote Baptist Church.
GIG Nights
These nights expose us to an area of the Christian life
and then encourage us to ask questions or make
comments. Men who come along don’t always actively
participate. It is OK to sit, watch and listen to others
share while you just enjoy the company. You don’t have
to be a Christian; in fact these non-threatening evenings
might just be the opportunity you need to ask questions
to find out what being a Christian means.
via Hallet Cove Baptist Church.
Has Science Buried God?
Join the men of St Andrew’s Wahroonga as they share a
meal and discuss the topic “Has Science Buried God”.
via St Andrew’s, Wahroonga.
Lifekeys Course (Valiant Man)
Developing and maintaining a healthy sexuality is every
man’s battle. Valiant Man is about male sexual
discipleship. This program with study and devotional
guide is designed to fortify and restore the moral and
spiritual integrity of men. Valiant Man challenges all men
to fight for their own personal, moral and spiritual
vitality and help other men fight for theirs.
via Kardinia Church.
Manly Man Events
Jesus calls REAL men to get REAL about following Him.
Men’s Ministry at Deep Creek is about helping blokes do
just that – becoming more like Jesus and doing great
things for Jesus. Along the way there’s lots of mens
events where you a chance to have fun, spend time with
new or old mates, and sample some fine food together.
via Deep Creek Anglican Church.
Mastermind Groups
These are 10-week in-depth studies that will afford you
the opportunity to join forces and mastermind with a
unique group of like-minded individuals who are
focused on taking results in every area of their lives to a
new level.
via DaySpring Church.
Men and Meat
To combat this ignorance and to create a unique
opportunity for connecting men to church St
Augustine’s ran an unprecedented outreach event that
saw 60 blokes, half of whom were guests, get together to
learn about how to cut up a cow.
via St Augustine’s, Neutral Bay.
Men at the Stag
The First Thursday of the month is an opportunity to
grab a $12.50 chicken schnitzel and head upstairs at the
Stag and Hunter Hotel for a man talk. Men of all ages
welcome!
via Mayfield Baptist Church.
Men Being Men
Men Being Men provides an outlet for men to connect
with other men and to develop a relationship with
Jesus. Men meet together throughout the year for a
variety of activities and mateship. BBQ’s and breakfasts
provide an opportunity for blokes over 18 to chat about
work and life.
via Toongabbie Baptist Church.
Men’s Growth Groups
A typical session involve spending some time reading
the Bible, thinking together about what it means for life
today, and praying to God. There’ll be nothing weird or
nothing secretive – just thinking about Jesus with a few
likeminded blokes. You might just want to come along
for a couple of weeks to check it out, and that’s fine. You
might know nothing about Jesus, or you might know
heaps. Either way, we reckon you will benefit hugely
from spending time in a Bible Study group with other
men.
via Emu Plains Anglican Church.
Men’s Shed
Men’s Shed is for blokes! Men of all ages are welcome.
Join us in a relaxed environment at various locations
(often sheds) for a cuppa or a can and “chew the fat”.
Men’s Shed is coordinated by blokes from both the
Uniting Church and the Church of Christ…The wider
community acknowledges the increasing incidence of
men’s health issues, including isolation and stress
related illnesses experienced by men in rural areas.
Through Men’s Shed we aim to bring fellas together and
present a positive message of faith in action for men
through knowing the greatest man to walk on earth,
Jesus Christ.
via Balaclava Church of Christ.
Mentoring for Men
Mentoring is a way of growing – of creating spaces in
our lives in which we very deliberately seek to grow in
God and seek to support others as they grow in Him.
God didn’t design us to make our life journey alone,
especially when it comes to growing in Him!
via Gateway Baptist Church.
MP4
MP4 is the Men’s network of FCF Life Centre which
stands for Men of Purpose, Principle, Power and Prayer.
The guiding Scripture verse of this network is based on
2 Timothy 2:2 which says, “And these things which you
have heard from me, in the presence of many witnesses,
entrust these things to faithful men, who will be able to
teach others also…
via FCF Life Centre.
Oaks Blokes
Oaks Blokes breakfasts, evening barbecues and ‘blokes
day out’ are held regularly during the year. Guest
speakers and great fellowship continually draw more
and more men into their destiny in God!
via Calvary Family Church.
Real Men
Real Men is fun enough and manly enough that the
average non-churched bloke should be able to attend
and fit right in. We want to build community among the
guys with enough time for some spiritual input, blokey
fun and whatever else we find ourselves doing that
works towards the goal of establishing Real Men in our
local church. Each week alternates between
Campbelltown and Camden at Dale or Alan’s place.
via Living Hope Church.
Run on Saturdays
North Beach carpark, with a 40 minute out and back run
(suits different paces), followed by coffee (at North
Beach kiosk) – mainly middle-aged men, but all
welcome!
via St Michael’s Anglican Cathedral, Wollongong.
Saturday Morning Breakfasts
These very successful hearty breakfasts commenced in
May ‘98 to encourage a greater personal awareness
within the congregation and in particular the men of the
congregation in bringing together, the people in a
‘fellowship spirit’ to encourage a closer group of
companionship in the congregation generally, other than
meeting each Sunday at the services. This gives the
opportunity to meet at an informal venue and sometimes
have a visiting guest speaker. The topics have been on a
wide range of informative subjects: eg. The Christian in
the Modern World, The Presbyterian Church To-day,
Police Chaplaincy, The ANZAC Spirit and many more.
via St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Manly.
State of Origin Auction Night
Each year we gather to watch the second State of Origin
Rugby League match and bid in the missions auction.
Over $4k is raised each year for a mission project. In
2015 we raised $6800 and because our mission target
was the BWA Nepal Earthquake Matching Fund, the Fed
Govt kicked in $34000, making our total donation to
Nepal Earthquake Fund $40,800!
via Mayfield Baptist Church.
Town Hall Men’s Group
Each Wednesday we meet together over a coffee before
work to support and encourage each other and discuss
the implications of Bible teaching for our work and
family lives.
via LCM Churches.
Tradies Tracks
About 3-4 times a year we gather all of our blokes
together, often around a barbie or a bonfire, to hear
someone speak from the bible to men about how to live
out our faith in the cut and thrust of everyday life. These
events are aimed at dealing with issues that our tradies
face in living out their Christian lives in a challenging
workplace, although that means we will be dealing with
topics relevant to all men. So, every bloke is welcome.
