Started in 1999 by a group of pastors and men's leaders with a passion to minister to men in local churches, the Washington Area Coalition of Men's Ministries (WACMM) is a nonprofit, non-denominational, evangelical training, speaking, consulting and event-sponsoring ministry. Our purpose is to help pastors and men's leaders to minister to men in the mid-Atlantic Region for the glory of God.

OUR STATEMENT OF BELIEF

We hold to the basic doctrines of historic, biblically faithful Christianity in accord with the National Association of Evangelicals, as found at www.nae.net.

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only, infallible, authoritative Word of God.

2. We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

4. We believe that the salvation of lost and sinful people is accomplished by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone, by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit.

5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.

6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, those who are saved to the resurrection of life and those who are lost to the resurrection of damnation.

OUR HISTORY

The Washington Area Coalition of Men’s Ministries began on a stormy night in February 1999 with the gathering of six men in the storefront of Craven Tire & Auto in Merrifield, Virginia.

The six men talked and prayed together about what they sensed God was calling them to do following in the wake of the Promise Keepers movement which had reached a dramatic climax with over one million men gathering on the National Mall in October 1997.

The consensus was that whatever the response, the focus and emphasis would be to assist local churches in their ministry to men. As one member repeatedly said, “let’s keep it on the ground", meaning local church-centered. The rest, as they say, is history.

Almost ten years later WACMM remains an on-the-ground resource to local churches, their pastors and men's leaders to inform and mobilize the men of God for the glory of God.
