“Man Up” Men’s Ministry
“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” (1 Corinthians 16:13)
“Man Up” is the Men’s Ministry of New Hope Church. Led by retired police officer,
capable preacher and man of God Al McGrew, “Man Up” ministers to the men of our
church in a variety of ways. This includes through a weekly prayer breakfast, Bible
studies, men’s banquets, football watch parties, and sponsoring church picnic events.
The purpose of this ministry is to call men in our church to greater virtue, strength, and
biblical leadership through responsibility and self-sacrifice empowered by Christ. We
seek to bless the men, women, and children of our church through cultivating godly
masculinity.

Regular Men’s Ministry groups:
Men’s Prayer Breakfast & Bible Study (Saturday Mornings)
Meets Saturday mornings at 7am at church.
If you are a man who is looking for authentic Christian friendship, the Men’s Prayer
Breakfast is just what you need. This group meets every Saturday morning from 7am to
9am at New Hope Church, 5100 W. 115th St, Alsip, IL. Their purpose is to encourage
one another to live for Christ in the day-to-day details of life and to pray for New Hope
Church. There is time for in-depth Bible study through various books in the Bible led by
experienced Bible teachers. The men share prayer concerns and have committed
themselves to pray for the preaching ministry of their pastors and for each other’s
needs. If you have any questions, please contact Gerry Miller at (708) 704-9102 or
email: gerrymiller@newhopechurch.us .
Thursday Men’s Bible Study
Meets seasonally on Thursdays, 7pm on Zoom.
A Bible study for men of all ages, led by Pastor Bryan Jacobs. This is a study focused
on developing biblical character and strong, courageous leadership among Christian
men. We initially went through the book and discussion guide for Leadership and
Emotional Sabotage by Joe Rigney, along with relevant Scripture passages. If you are
interested in signing up for our next study, contact Pastor Bryan by emailing the church
office.
