Through fellowship, prayer, and practical teaching, men of all ages come together to grow in spiritual maturity and accountability.
We equip men of all ages with practical skills, confidence, and support to thrive in life, relationships, and their communities. Through fellowship, prayer, workshops, mentoring, service projects, and gatherings, we create opportunities for growth and accountability.
Our purpose is to strengthen men so they can build stronger homes, churches, and communities. By calling men to rise up and take their rightful place as leaders of godly character, we aim to impact the next generation and create lasting change
We create opportunities for growth through workshops, conferences, small groups, mentoring, service projects, leadership training, and fellowship gatherings. These programs are designed to foster accountability, build life skills, and empower men to live out their calling.

MAN-UP MINISTRY FAQs
Elder WilliamEarl Wooten, Young Adults Pastor
Co-Chair
Man-Up Ministry is guided by two dedicated co-chairs Deacon Elzy Simmons and Elder WilliamEarl Wooten, Young Adults Pastor.
Both, provide vision, leadership, and mentorship. Each brings unique experience and insight to support men in different stages of life and spiritual growth.
Through targeted programming led by the co-chairs, young men receive mentorship and skill-building opportunities, while older men are equipped to lead, mentor, and serve their communities. This dual approach ensures all participants are supported and empowered to thrive spiritually, personally, and professionally.
Participants gain practical life skills, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of purpose. Many report improved leadership in their families, active involvement in their churches, and increased community engagement. Programs have inspired men to mentor others, volunteer regularly, and take initiative in personal and professional growth, creating lasting positive change beyond the ministry itself.
