Men’s Fraternity

What is a Men’s Fraternity?

Men’s Fraternity is a series of three, twenty-four week long studies, beginning with The Quest for Authentic Manhood, followed by Authentic Manhood: Winning at Work and Home, and concluding with The Great Adventure series. More than just a rally or a Bible study, Men's Fraternity provides men with an encouraging process that teaches them how to live lives of authentic manhood as modeled by Jesus Christ and directed by the Word of God.

These series begin in the fall and run through the next spring. Currently the OFC Men’s Fraternity is studying The Quest for Authentic Manhood. During the summer and late fall, the Men’s Fraternity will continue to meet together to perform periodic community service projects.

Men's Fraternity was designed to help men come together and strengthen each other through weekly sessions that combine biblical teaching and small group interaction.

These time-tested resources have been used all over the world to equip men to make their pursuit of noble manhood a lifelong priority. Church leaders and lay members are using the series to energize the men of their church and to connect with men in the community. Many men also use the series in their own personal pursuit of authentic manhood.

The Origin of Men’s Fraternity
Men's Fraternity was created by Robert Lewis, Pastor-At-Large of Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock, Arkansas, and author of Raising a Modern Day Knight. It began in 1990 with 30 participants as Robert strived to connect with and challenge the men of his church. Over the years, it has developed into a series of studies designed to engage the heart as well as the mind, stripping away the myths of manhood, and focusing on how each individual can be transformed into a true man of God. Now, more than 15,000 groups of men attend a weekly Men's Fraternity meeting globally.
