men's roundup toolbox

What is the toolbox?

If you’re running your own local men’s event and would like advice or are looking for resources, look no further than the Men’s Roundup Toolbox. We made this resource originally during the two years where we were unable to meet, but the resources are still valid and may work to help you create an amazing local event. We look forward to seeing you and your men’s group at this year’s Men’s Roundup event!

Make Your Event a Win For Your Local Church With These Guidelines

First, it is a physical gathering of guys in a space you put together. House, a place in your church, somewhere outside, a garage.
Setting - Make sure it is manly, plenty of space, and no one else there to interrupt or change the dynamic.
Date: September 10-12 is good, but whatever works for your guys.
FOOD - grill some meat! and probably have some snacks too.
Event - Make it a one-three day event - see our sample schedule(s) below.
Fun - corn hole, water sports, shooting, disc golf, sports events, mountain biking, hiking or whatever your men's group loves to do.
Tech — Have a way to download the videos or make sure you have good internet.
Post Photos of your Roundup to the MRU facebook page, so we can all see what you did!
Sessions — Either have one of your own pastors speak, or view the toolbox details below for more suggestions/links
Pre-print the questions for your discussions during your event.
Gospel Call - Take some time and watch the videos ahead of time or talk with your leadership team to craft a call to the gospel. Ask people if they would like to take a step towards Christ. Consider using the suggested resources below.
Fundraiser - Every year MRU does a fundraiser. This year we are going to ask you to donate to something of your choice that is on mission. So take a collection and use the money for a gospel driven purpose in your community.
