Lutheran Men in Mission (LMM) provides resources and events for congregations and individuals to help men to be Bold, Daring Followers of Christ. The Southeastern Minnesota (SE MN) LMM Board also encourages men of faith to be involved in men’s ministry in their congregations through our events and sharing of information from LMM.
Men’s Ministry is a vital way of connecting men in congregations. It is wonderful when pastors and laity find ways to encourage men to grow in their faith. We encourage those interested in ministry with men to share information regarding LMM resources and promote events organized both locally and nationally. These include the LMM Bold Gatherings (Live-Streamed or In Person), and the Project XII website. More info can be found at www.boldgathering.com and www.projecttwelve.net. The Master Builders Bible with the Men’s Leadership Guide is also a great tool. This guide is available in English and Spanish. It, as well as information about events and other resources, is available at www.lutheranmeninmission.org.
