Overview

Mission

Noble warriors' mission is to serve churches as they equip men to walk with christ and lead well.

What it reported doing in 2025

Church consulting - coaching - seminary engagement - denominational engagement: the various ministry initiatives of noble warriors provide exposure and promote the value of strategic men's discipleship. But the goal of the ministry is to engage local church pastors and leaders directly. Coaching small groups and pastoral teams affords deep impact because of the personalization opportunity for individual churches and leaders. Noble warriors continues to pursue a "champion for men" in every church who will speak up for the impact of men's discipleship and encourage the church to disciple men. This effort is enhanced by the fact that noble warriors is recognized as the primary men's ministry partner for sbc of Virginia. We are working to establish similar relationships with other denominations. Seminary connection/engagement continues as mike continues to pursue a doctor of ministry degree.
