Majoring in men: The Curriculum for Men

CMN reaches men not for reaction, but for results.

Christian Men’s Ministry has been equipping stalwart men in a shifting world for over 40 years using its proprietary discipleship curriculum, Majoring in Men. This 12-week, online training course is designed to cultivate church leaders using a series of challenging and inspiring books written expressly to cover every issue a man faces, alongside corresponding workbooks.

You Can Change Your Story

One book at a time

Learn how Majoring in Men can help any man leave a mediocre life and become a true man of God. No matter how big of a pit a man has to dig out of, each 12-lesson workbook with it's corresponding book will help you heal wounds, recover relationships, gain a solid footing in your career, and become the man you've always wanted to be--the man God intended for you to be.

How it works

Majoring in Men is a series of nine challenging and inspiring books, written expressly to cover every issue a man faces with corresponding workbooks. A “done-for-you” discipleship model, it can be embarked on alone or with a group of men from your family, church, or community

The online program guides you through three modules, each containing three books and corresponding workbooks designed for reflective study.

Background texture

Get Commissioned

Once you’ve completed all nine books and obtained a pastor’s recommendation by joining a local church, you are eligible to join the elite Brotherhood of Commissioned Men. Become an active member of the Christian Men’s Network global movement, discipling men with the knowledge that true manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous.

A commission is an authorization and command to act in a prescribed manner. It is a charge giving authority to act for, or in behalf of or in the place of another. Each Commissioned Man receives a sword, the symbol of a trained warrior. The sword is a weapon of battle, and the act of awarding the sword to the Commissioned Man is recognition that he is armed for battle and has agreed to fight for other men.

Greg Jones

Men’s Pastor at Grays Harbor Foursquare Church, Aberdeen, Washington

“After several attempts to engage men, we started doing exactly what the MoMENtum Guide said. We had a great men's event then took the men through the books and workbooks. By the next year, we had almost doubled. We continually increase in men. The church has never been stronger. We are pumped!”

Dwayne Pickett, Ph.D.

Pastor, New Jerusalem Church, Jackson, Mississippi

“From our four campuses, our strong men are impacting the city! We had a passion for discipling men. Majoring in Men gave us the pattern. It's built strong men, and even revolutionized my relationship with my sons. We followed the Guide, adapting the curriculum to our culture. Today, my men have my back. They're involved and investing.”

MARK HOLLIS

NIMATE DISCIPLER FELLOWSHIP, CARROLION, TEXAS

I went through Maximized Manhood with 29 other inmates when I was in prison. Al 30 of us are in full-time ministry today With CMN books, the facilitator doesn't have to teach anything. The men really "get it" and then share what it means t o them. Today, recidivism has dropped from 75% when I started to 22.6%.
