MEN OF FIRST: GROW. PURSUE. SERVE.
Guiding Men to Become Like Jesus, Belong To Healthy Relationships, and Benefit Others
Men of First exists to help men Grow, Pursue, and Serve. It’s our GPS—our strategy to guide and equip you to live out your calling as a man of God.
We’re here to walk alongside you as you grow in becoming more like Jesus, pursue meaningful relationships, and discover ways to serve others through your God-given gifts. Our desire is for every man at Frisco First to be known as:
• A man of service
• A man of healthy relationships
• A man who is growing to look more like Jesus
In short, a Man of First.
Becoming more like Jesus starts with knowing His Word and following His ways. That’s why Bible study is the foundation of our ministry. WEDNESDAY NIGHT STUDY: Led by volunteers, this weekly gathering takes a book of the Bible and helps you apply it to everyday life. MEN'S SMALL GROUPS Meeting throughout the week in various locations, these groups provide accountability and deeper study. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we want to help you grow in both knowledge and character.
GROW.
We believe men thrive in healthy, intentional relationships. So we create space for that. QUARTERLY CONNECTIONS: Whether it's axe throwing, Top Golf, or something else with a tool in your hand, these moments create connection through shared experience. MEN'S BREAKFASTS Hear inspiring speakers who challenge us to grow in faith, marriage, parenting, and friendship. FATHER/DAUGHTER EVENTS Each summer, dads get the chance to look their daughters in the eye and remind them of their value, beauty, and worth. FATHER/SON EVENTS For meaningful conversations and bonding between fathers and sons.
PURSUE.
We want to help every man discover his purpose and put it into action. Service is part of what makes a man a man—servant leadership that engages the heart, hands, and head. Whether you're building, leading, encouraging, or supporting, there’s a place for you to benefit others through sharing your gifts. When you serve, you live out the truth: Others BENEFIT through sharing.
SERVE.

Men's Ministry Mentoring
Purpose
For men to support, strengthen, and share their lives with other men.
Our hope to make a one year commitment with two other men of different generations, where iron sharpens iron. Men of First Mentoring is the creation of triads, three different generations of men, coming together to sharpen one another. What makes Men of First Mentoring unique is our goal of mutual discipleship. Mutual discipleship is allowing the Holy Spirit to work in and through everyone when you come together.
Vision
We want you to invite people into your calendar, not necessarily add to it.
Our Men of First Mentoring will actually not be 1 on 1. We are asking you to form triads, groups of at least three, that are strategically matched based upon need, preferences, experiences, and availability. BUT we do it with 3 generations. That way there is no GURU. You have something someone needs. They have something you need. It becomes mutual discipleship where everyone is giving and receiving. Where no one is placed in a hierarchy position, but as brothers, coming together to learn from one another. No one must carry the burden of feeling like they need all the answers or to be the expert. Proverbs 13:20 says it this way: “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Through your experiences, through what the Lord is teaching you, you bring wisdom, and gifts, and companionship. As a believer, you have something others need but you will also grow in the process through the relationship. Mentoring is inviting you into a relationship with other men in our congregation so that you are walking with the wise. And I want to be clear; this is an invitation into relationship not into a program. Programs will not change your life but the relationship of one person to another, when the Holy Spirit shows up in that, that is where growth takes place. So, we will provide structure, but we want you to go where the Holy Spirit leads.
Expectations
Part of the structure is to set proper expectations. So here are our three big expectations for every mentoring relationship. #1 Show Up- Proverbs 17:17 (NIV) 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Make the relationship a priority. That means you either have to schedule and stick to it or be intentional about inviting the other men into your calendar. Bottom line: SHOW UP. Become friends and more # 2 Set An Example- 1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) 4:12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. The only way to set an example, is if people are invited into each other’s lives. This does not happen in a classroom and simply showing up for coffee. You need to be at each other’s homes, your celebrations, around the dinner table. We want you to do life on life. Know and care about what is going on in each other’s life. Invite people into your normal, unfiltered life. Think about your day-to-day activities and events and then ASK do I need to do this alone? Be who you are, share what you know, let them see how you think, act, live, pray and serve. Show up and Set an Example, but MAKE SURE you do this 3rd element or it not a TRUE mentoring relationship: #3 Sharpen- Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Men of First Mentoring is about sharpening one another to become sold out followers of Jesus Christ. Don’t drift too far from that purpose. You are not going to be a counselor. If the issues are deep and old, and if it’s clear that someone needs help beyond common sense, then help him connect to a counselor and hold him accountable for following through. Pull back and defer to a professional before you get in over your head. But beyond that, we live in a time and in a culture where grace filled challenging of one another is almost totally absent. We need to reclaim the act of gently, longingly, challenging ideas, assumptions and even thoughts. We need to be able to look at one another and say, how does that compare to Scripture?
