The 2012 conference is a two day conferece designed to meet the practical and spiritual needs of men.
"Why Men Hate Church"
“What is it about modern Christianity that is driving men away?” Just 35% of American men say they attend church weekly, and women make up more than 60% of the typical congregation on a given Sunday. Most churches cater to women, children and the elderly by creating a safe, predictable environment. This alienates anyone fond of risk taking, including young men and women, but men are affected most. In order to reach men, churches must “adjust the thermostat” to: 1) let men lead; 2) give them tasks; 3) encourage pastors to show strength and teach men through object lessons, 4) letting them discover truth for themselves. Learn how men can be men in church!
