Many of our congregations have active Disciples Men groups. Use our Contact page to let us know what you're doing in your congregation or resources you'd like to see on this page.

Mid-America Men & Friends, our regional chapter of Disciples Men, is partnering with experienced fathers from across the nation to help prospective, new, or young dads in our region prepare for the great journey that awaits.  The project is called "A Father for Gen Alpha."

Sharing of wisdom and hearing from the new dads will take place for one hour in the evening a week for seven weeks over Zoom in small discussion circles.  Please watch the video for more information and a sampling of topics and resources covered.


Pastors and church leaders, please take a moment to think of who in your church and community that recently had his child dedicated, whose wife or partner is expecting, or who you know is seeking deeper spiritual clarity on his life or purpose.  Our recent pilot group included a man whose children were in middle school but admittedly wanted to be a better father.  It's never to late to "find a manual" on fatherhood.

Please let Regional Minister Paul Koch at paul.ccma@sbcglobal.net know if you have someone to recommend for A Father for Gen Alpha  or encourage him to reach out to Paul directly for more information or to enroll. 

Regional Minister Team Member Rev. Dr. Paul Koch shares some of the the Men's Ministry resources he's created/collected:
