This disparity raised a number of questions. Answers to these questions will go a long way to assist church leaders in developing programs better suited to men. With the Leadership survey in mind, we surveyed the church where I ministered, the Cross and Crown, a Christian fellowship in Chicago. We found that our attendance was 59 percent female and 41 percent male. Our men are less likely to participate in Bible reading, Bible study and prayer than our women.
Men are less likely to disciple and nurture others.
We found that among this group men don t take advantage of corporate growth opportunities even when those opportunities are specifically designed for men. Churches Need the Male Perspective For a church to have a balanced ministry, men must be actively involved. They contribute the male perspective to the church and provide children growing up in the church with a balanced demonstration of the biblical role of men and women. Lack of participation presents an imbalanced model to the next generation and sends a message that involvement in spiritual pursuits is primarily a female exercise. The problem is heightened by the fact that most of the Christian literature on the market today is slanted toward women.
