Yep! Sometimes I have to share men’s ministry stuff too! I have been asked to help in this area for churches from time to time, so I thought I’d share some men’s event theme ideas for conference sessions.
The Session Topics below just give a little direction to make a men’s event cohesive. Any details and lessons are then put together by whomever is teaching. These just give a focus to one main idea. These session topics are for the theme, “Branded for Christ”.
Oh, yes! This can be geared for ladies events too! And I do have a western/cowboy theme already on the website here.
Branded Men’s Event Theme
Main Focus and Key Verse
- Showing the world that we are followers of Christ and identify with Him; showing His love to others.
- John 13:35. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
