What is CAROLINA MEN?

We are a volunteer network of men throughout the Carolinas whose purpose is to support and encourage anyone engaged in ministering to men. We do this by providing fellowship, resources, training and gatherings for men.  We do not replace the work of the church in ministering to men - we reinforce it. 

 Why CAROLINA MEN?

Because men are foundational! Statistics and common sense tell us  that as men go, so goes the marriage, family, community, church and nation. When men fully step into their God-given identity, destiny and legacy - everybody wins! 

How Can I Join CAROLINA MEN?

There is no formal membership, secret handshake or entry fee to be a part of the coalition - you belong by showing up. 

Name Your Favorite Athlete 
Who Played Hurt . . .

Here's a book for every guy who is married and is man enough to stay in the game -even when it hurts. 

Author Brian Goins, a friend and ally of Carolina Men, puts it like this:  "Most of us long for a chance to finish the game when injured, sick, or falling apart – unless that game is marriage. When nursing a bruised ego, battered pride, or starved libido, I look for a spot on the bench, not a shot at glory. I pout. I punish. I do everything but play hurt."

Playing Hurt coaches men on how to win at the one game that truly matters – your marriage."

This is Tony Porter, Charlotte resident and the co-founder of A Call to Men, a movement that is working to create a world where all men and boys are loving and respectful and all women and girls are valued and safe. 

At a recent gathering in Charlotte, 400 coaches and other men who influence young men were challenged, educated and inspired to work tirelessly to reverse the epidemic of domestic violence in America. Funded by the Verizon Foundation and assisted by legendary CBS sportscaster James (JB) Brown, they are taking their message to cities around the nation. Efforts like this are to be applauded and supported by men everywhere. 

Way to go, Tony (and team)!

A Great New Resource for Men's Groups

Stepping Up by Family Life's Dennis Rainey is one the finest books available on biblical manhood. We highly recommend it! Making it even more powerful is a 10-session video study (three DVD's of 25-35 min. sessions) led by some of the church's most gifted, respected teachers on what it means to be a man of God. Check out these great resources HERE.
