Each ministry focuses on their area or activity while providing a safe place to intentionally build spiritual friendships with men inside and Outside the church.

Each chairman will have joint leadership responsibility
New ministry will grow out from underneath each pillar.
I want all the leaders to full know and understand the entire ministry so if there is an absence of one or two chairmen the ministry can still go on. As well, this will also spread the tasks among the chairmen while still being fully aware of all areas of the ministry.
