How to Disciple Men is a labor of love from NCMM to you. Hey, we’re all in this together.

The National Coalition of Ministries to Men (NCMM) brings together more than 200 organizations and independent ministers who share a single objective: to connect the men who disciple men. NCMM was founded in 1996, at the height of the Promise Keepers movement. Hundreds of thousands of men were filling stadiums across the nation, hungry to know Jesus. In response, men’s ministries were popping up all over the United States. But many of the men who spearheaded these ministries were isolated from one another. Resources were scarce. Many struggled to survive. The big ministries weren’t able to help the smaller ministries because they didn’t know they existed. Denominational men’s ministries saw a flood of new converts – but lacked the resources and manpower to effectively disciple these men. NCMM was created to connect and encourage these ministries to work together. The goal was to help them do together what no one ministry could do alone. NCMM provides visibility, connection, and growth opportunities for ministry leaders to become more influential in discipling men. Learn more at NCMM.org.
