Men's Mentoring Application

Are you ready to take your walk with Jesus to the next level?  We believe you are, and that is why you have been invited to join Northeast Men’s Mentoring.  Northeast shares the vision to pour into men so they can better live as disciples of Jesus who Unleash Love: Everyday, Everybody, Everywhere.

This will be accomplished in a small group format that will have a kick-off meeting then meet once per month over the course of 9 months.

It is our goal to point men toward an integrated Christian life. We believe that we can have successful careers and be learners and followers of Jesus Christ and be great husbands, fathers, church members, sons, civic leaders, disciple-makers and friends . . . all at the same time.

Northeast Men’s Mentoring
  • Runs from August/September through May.
  • One kick-off meeting.
  • One meeting each month for nine months including a retreat and ending with a commissioning day.
  • Group meetings are required. Your group will discuss and set a schedule then stick to it.
  • Character development through significant reading, authentic challenging discussion, homework assignments and practice.
  • There will be some cost for resources however financial help is available. Speak with your mentor.
The type of guys we are looking for are . . .
  • Objective men: willing to look themselves in the mirror and make changes to improve; willing to take direct, pervasive feedback without being defensive.
  • Humble, broken men; hungry for personal growth
  • Men with a passionate commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ
  • Men with a willingness to ‘pay it forward’ and influence other guys in the future

Are you ready to make this covenant and commit to the following?

We are hereby making a covenant commitment to the following:

  1. I desire to become an all-in Jesus-follower, husband, father, son, brother, friend, disciple-maker, and Christian leader.
  2. I understand that I will take direct, unfiltered feedback. I will do everything in my power to receive it in love and to learn from it. I will avoid defensiveness, realizing that when I defend, I lose the opportunity to learn. I commit to being open in examining myself – my personality, my past, my habits, my anger, and my responses to people. I want to learn. I want to change, to be more like Jesus Christ in every fiber of my being.
  3. I commit to attending every meeting and retreat, to be there on time, and to have my work done. No exceptions, unless providentially I understand and agree that I will have to say “no” to important things in order to meet this commitment, and I am willing to do so. We will lay out our schedule for the year at our first meeting. I will manage my other commitments around the dates selected for meetings and retreats.
  4. I will finish the course. I understand that my mentor and the group will make a significant investment in me. Because it would be unfair and disrespectful to them to do otherwise, I commit to the entire season and will finish well.
  5. I understand that this mentoring process is based upon Jesus, His message, and His plan for our lives. I will be totally vulnerable about my relationship with Christ, for the purpose of growing in my faith.
  6. I recognize that my mentor pledges to give the same level of commitment, dedication, and energy to me. My mentor will visit me individually sometime during the mentoring season; and he will attempt to teach and lead from a humble, transparent and loving heart.
  7. I commit to total confidentiality. What is said in the group stays in the group. This confidentiality does not supersede the law and must never cover up a current or future threat to the health or well-being of another person.
  8. I further covenant that I will begin immediately to pay it forward by investing in others for spiritual purposes. I will be a disciple-maker in whatever way the Lord leads including the possibility of leading Northeast Men’s Mentoring groups of my own.
  9. I discussed this commitment with my wife, and she fully supports my involvement. She willingly relinquishes the time it will take to attend the sessions and retreats and to do the reading and homework, with the goal of my becoming a godlier man.

If you are ready to step up then you can apply here.
