The guys agreed to meet once a month for three months to do some strategic planning on our men's discipleship efforts at Willow Creek Church (PCA). I wrote an article about it for Equipping the Man in the Mirror magazine. I'll post that as well.
We had a great first meeting - Greg, Ray, Pete, Jeff, Chris and me. Norm and Sam couldn't make it, but we'll get them up to speed. Everybody got a copy of No Man Left Behind. We set out an agenda for the next three meetings as follows:
Willow Creek IronMan Men’s Ministry
Brothers in the Great Adventure
2008 Strategic Planning Process
Session One (January 9) – Where are we?
1. Review the No Man Left Behind Model – Goal: MAKE DISCIPLES
a. Portal Priority
b. Man Code
c. Leadership
d. Types of Men
2. Exercise: Men’s Discipleship Audit
3. All-Inclusive Men’s Ministry
4. Exercise: Review Vision and Values
Session Two (February – Where Do We Want to Go?
1. What is a disciple at WCC?
2. Building disciples who know, believe and do what a disciple does
a. Exercise: Head-Heart-Hands Worksheet
3. GAP Analysis
a. What activities are building disciples?
b. What types of men are we not reaching effectively?
c. What types of knowledge, belief and behavior are we not teaching/modeling?
Session Three – How Will We Get There

2. The Create-Capture-Sustain Strategy

This is, of course, subject to change... but it's a start.
