Reimagining the Brotherhood: Rooted in Legacy, Rising in Vision

The National Men’s Ministry of the Church of God has long been a vital part of our fellowship, calling men to deeper faith, stronger families, and faithful service in the Kingdom of God. We now stand in a season of opportunity. One that invites us to build on the foundation of those who came before us while leaning into the fresh work God is doing among us today. This is a time of awakening, where men are being summoned to embrace their God-given identity, lead with integrity, and join in a movement that will impact our churches, our communities, and generations to come.

Across our fellowship and our nation, men are searching for clarity of purpose and strength for the journey. Scripture answers that longing with these words: “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God” (1 Peter 2:9). This truth reminds us that our identity is secure, our calling is sure, and our influence is meant to reflect the Kingdom of God in every area of life.

In response to this call, the National Men’s Ministry is stepping into Phase 1 of a renewed direction: awakening men to their calling, aligning men with their purpose, activating men in service, and advancing together as a brotherhood. This first phase will include national Zoom gatherings, listening sessions with men across the fellowship, and a survey designed to hear directly from their voices. Together, these efforts will shape the 2026 State of the Brotherhood Report, a resource that will give us insight, clarity, and vision for the future of the NACOG men’s ministry.

This is not about programs for the sake of activity. It is about cultivating a movement; one that calls men to rise as Kingdom leaders in their homes, their churches, and their communities. It is about forging a brotherhood that spans generations and regions, united in both mission and vision.

And while we look forward with anticipation, we also honor the legacy of those who have faithfully led this ministry before us. For decades, the charge of 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 has guided our steps: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.” These words remain as timely as ever, anchoring us in the strength of our heritage and urging us toward the future God is calling us to build together.

God is indeed stirring something fresh among the men of NACOG. May this season mark the beginning of a movement that awakens, aligns, activates, and advances men to live boldly for Christ, lead with integrity, and serve with passion.
