Church Planting/Building Efforts:

 As stated in our Mission Statement, our ministry is in the strengthening and establishment of Churches after the New Testament pattern.  This can only be accomplished by the generosity of donors both at the meetings and in our sister congregations.  There are a number of ways for individuals to help support the mission:

            *  Prayer
            *  Volunteering time and services to the needs of Men for Christ, and local churches
            *  Love offerings in a local congregation
            *  Contributing during our monthly meetings
            *  A monthly mission offering to Men for Christ

The Ambassador Fund:

 One special way of donating to Men for Christ is by pledging to be an Ambassador.  An Ambassador is an individual who donates monthly, anywhere from $10, $20, $30, $50 or more.   With the help of generous individuals and local congregations, we can continue the wonderful work of spreading the Gospel message across the  state by planting and supporting congregations.  If you are interested in donating to Men for Christ or have questions, feel free to contact our  webmaster for further details.

A Few Early Church Works

  The congregation of the Owensboro Christian Church was established in 1953 and was the first “new church” aided by Men for Christ. They soon became self-supporting.

 The Magnolia Street Christian Church in Harrodsburg was established in 1952. In 1956 Men For Christ began giving aid and by 1958 the building was dedicated and the congregation was self-supporting.

 Southern Heights Christian Church in Somerset began meeting in September, 1974 at the YMCA.  The building was started in the fall of 1976 and occupied in June, 1977.

 The West Side Christian Church in Liberty came into existence in 1959 meeting in the local high school. In the same year land was purchased, a basement constructed, and in 1963 the main structure was completed. Men for Christ was never asked for help but did give $100 to show their “kinship” of being of “like precious faith.”

The Mannsville Christian Church was established in 1958. Men for Christ gave aid in its infant years until the congregation became self-supporting.

 Community Christian Church in London was organized in 1969. A building was erected and dedicated in 1974.

 The Greensburg Christian Church was established in 1959 and met for fourteen months in a rented residence. Men for Christ aided this work.

 Indian Hills Christian Church in Danville was started in 1961. In 1964 a parsonage was built and used for worship and Sunday School until March 1969 when they moved into their sanctuary. The basement of the parsonage was still used for Sunday School and Scouts until 1976 when they began using all of it for Sunday School and offices and rented a house for their minister.

 Bowling Green Christian Church came into existence in 1962, but it was 1963 before Men For Christ was able to provide them the necessary assistance to go forward.

 Glenview Christian Church in Glasgow began in 1968. They met in a store-front until December 1973 when they occupied their sanctuary.

More Recent Plantings

In the summer of 2009, North Bullitt Christian Church explored the opportunity of planting a new  congregation in the city of Shepherdsville.  After further discussion and examination, Men for Christ and the Salt River Men's Fellowship partnered with North Bullitt to aid in the development and financing of the new plant.  Journey Christian Church was launched October 10, 2010.  You may contact the minister, Jeremy Willis, at www.journeyshepherdsville.com. 

 After much prayer and investigation, Bridge Pointe Christian Church in Hopkinsville was officially launched on Easter Sunday, 2007.  It had been several years since Men for Christ had established an entirely new work.  Hopkinsville was chosen because of the lack of an Independent Christian Church in a rapidly growing area.

 Under the leadership of Keith Sage and his wife, Leisa, Bridge Pointe has made progress.    For the developing core group to make significant additional progress, more resources are needed.  The Liaison Committee is encouraging individuals, Sunday School classes, and churches to partner with Bridge Pointe to provide those resources.   The mailing address is Bridge Pointe Christian Church, 3824 Bahama Drive,,  Hopkinsville, KY 42240.  Bro. Keith Sage may be reached at  270-719-2016.  The email address is bridgepointecc@bellsouth.net.   The congregation is currently meeting in members’ homes.  Contact them for directions.  Above all, pray for them!  Send them a note of encouragement!  Visit them at 10 a.m. CT on Sunday or 6 p.m. CT on Wednesday.  Volunteer to help them with an outreach effort.
