Agape Press: The head of pastoral ministries at Focus on the Family says ministers need to make it a priority to get men involved in leadership roles in the Church.
Focus on the Family hosted a free February conference for pastors and their spouses aimed at encouraging and equipping pastors to balance their professional ministries and personal lives better.
H.B. London, Vice President of Pastoral Ministries at Focus on the Family, says many churches are struggling because a new generation of men are not getting involved in church leadership.
A recent Barna Group survey found that women are by far more inclined than men to say they are absolutely committed to the Christian faith. And many Christian congregations are able to supply anecdotal evidence of the dearth of male leadership and involvement in church activities. However, London believes these trends can be turned around.
Focus on the Family will hold similar pastors conferences throughout the United States in months to come. Through such events, London hopes more Christian pastors will be encouraged to put special emphasis on building dynamic men's ministries.
