Men's Fraternity

Men’s Fraternity is a series of three year-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 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.

Through Men’s Fraternity, men come together and strengthen each other through weekly sessions that combine biblical teaching and small group interaction.

The Origin

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. More than 1,400 men now attend Fellowship Bible Church’s weekly Men’s Fraternity meetings on Wednesdays at 6 a.m.

The Format

The format is simple: Men come together for weekly 45-minute teaching sessions, followed by 30 minutes of group interaction in an environment where they are free to talk openly and confidentially about what they heard and express mutual support for one another.

The True Power

The true power of Men’s Fraternity lies in bringing men together on common ground to learn together and listen to each other. God-centered friendships are formed as men encourage each other week-by-week to more fully embrace a godly view of manhood.
