The Fishermen.
Equipping the Willing to Lead by the "Jesus Model"
The Fishermen is a collective of spirit-filled men dedicated to the high calling of discipleship. Following the intentional model set by Christ, we are focused on more than just fellowship; we are focused on transformation. This is a call to men who are "Willing" to step outside the four walls of their local church to join a greater mission—to be mentored, to grow, and to eventually go out into the world to share the Gospel unapologetically.
This journey requires a humble heart and a courageous spirit—a commitment to "Unlearn to Relearn" God’s original design for the authority and position of man. Through personalized weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly mentoring tailored to your spiritual foundation, we build the strength needed to lead in a world that has lost its way. If you are ready to be a fisher of men and a true disciple of the King, your seat at the table is waiting.
"And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." — 2 Timothy 2:2
The Fishermen’s Ministry focuses on the "Jesus Model" of intentional, one-on-one discipleship and the transformative process of "unlearning" the world's standards to embrace God’s true authority.
