God calls men to lead their own lives, lead their families and be the leaders of the church. Our society doesn't't exactly help us do that. In order to be men of God, we must find a way to lead by surrendering our lives to Christ and be a leader with his strength, not our own.
The men's ministry at CTK focuses on equipping and encouraging men to be authentic and real. We all struggle, but with the help of each other and Christ we can overcome our obstacles and leave a legacy to each other and our families. We are striving to live life together as men of integrity, character and family, and to be servants in all aspects of our life.
Mission, Vision, and Values

Men's Motto
- God has not called us to see through one another, God has called us to see one another through.
"The Men of CTK" to "To the Men of CTK"
- Men were created by God to live lives of adventure and discovery. It is in our DNA to step into the new and unknown. But everyday life in the world tends to suppress and rob us of our true nature and destiny. The Men’s Ministry of Christ the King Church wants every man to discover the life of passion and meaning that he was created for and to experience life to the fullest through a well-grounded and exciting relationship with the living God and with other men. Both spiritual and social events help us accomplish this goal. We want to laugh together, cry together, to bear one another’s burdens and share one another’s blessings.

Wild At Heart
God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." It is no wonder that many men avoid church, and those who go are often passive and bored to death. In this provocative book, Eldredge gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.

Cell Group and Accountability Resources
When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long Psalm 32:3 Accountability will enhance our integrity, maturity, character relationships in general, and our growth in Christ. Below are some key accountability questions you can ask yourself and/or have a mentor ask you, all you need to do is choose 3 or 4 questions for each week.
- Did you spend significant time with God through His Word, prayer, quiet time, devotions and other spiritual disciplines? How much; how constant? Is He your driving force?
- How has your time with God been? Did you pray for others? Are you satisfied with the time you spent with our Lord this week?
- Did you go and participate in church activities and worship this week? How so? Why not?
- Did you set spiritual goals this week? What were they? Did you achieve your spiritual goals?
- Are you giving to the Lord's work with your time, talent, and treasure? What about financially?
- What do you need to do to improve your relationships with God and with others?
- What do you see as your number one need or struggle for this next week?
- How can this group or I help you?
- How have you struggled with sin? What are the sins that have weighed down your walk with God this week?
- What did you do to enhance your relationship with your spouse/friends? What can you do to make that relationship better?
- In what ways has God blessed you this week? How have you shared your blessings?
- What disappointments did you face? Did they consume your thoughts? What did you do about it? What can you learn?
- Have you committed any sexual sin? Did you look at someone lustfully? Have you been alone in a compromising situation? Have you been flirtatious? Have you struggled with pornography or "romance novels?" Have you exposed yourself to any sexually oriented material? Did you put yourself in a situation with a member of the opposite sex that could appear to be compromising, even though it may not have been?
- Have you shared your faith? In what ways? How can you improve? Have you had an opportunity to share with a non-Christian?
- How well are handling your finances right now? Have your financial dealings been questionable?
- Have you allowed the media and its distortions in TV, music and movies to unduly influence you? What about peer pressure?
- Have you been prideful? Have you been guilty of Gossip or Anger? Slandered? Shown Indifference? Been Greedy? Not controlled your tongue? This hinders people from knowing and trusting Christ the most!
- Have you demonstrated a servant's heart? How so? What have you done for someone else this week?
- How did you practice joy this week? Have you had thankful attitude toward God? Have you struggled with anger toward God? How so? What can you do about it?
- Are the "visible" you and the "real" you consistent?
- Have you answered these questions truthfully?
If you fall away from these questions, or refuse to have someone hold you to them, then Satan will have a foothold in your life. The failure to have accountability will produce sin. "The highest proof of a true friendship is the intimacy that holds nothing back and admits the friend to share our inmost secrets." – Andrew Murray
