Baptist Men's and RAs

What is the purpose of a Baptist Men’s Ministry?

Baptist Men exists to help churches involve their members in missions. Every Christian is called, gifted, and sent to witness and minister to non-believers everywhere. All believers – not just ordained ministers, are equally responsible to be witnesses for Christ.
