CVM is a movement. It is made up of thousands of men who believe the message of Jesus is true, relevant and much needed in the UK today. CVM exists to serve the local church to engage with men in every village, town and city in this country. The movement is a faithful reaction to the significant number of men who have walked away from the Christian church during the last 30 years. CVM supports and equips anyone who believes the Christian message can still radically change people’s lives today. The movement is accessible to men from every background, church and culture. CVM employs specialist Christian communicators operating in sport, the work place, Asian culture, sub-cultures, minority groups and beyond.
Where?
They are based in the heart of the UK - Chesterfield! However, they travel the whole of the country for a good fry-up and to speak to men about Jesus. The CVM ethos is for local men to reach local men. They believe that your village, town or city is your responsibility and so their job is to serve the local leadership invisibly, at work or at church. As Bill Hybels says, "The local church is the hope of the Nation” - so they want to equip you, the local church. They equip church leaders and anyone interested in men’s ministry with top of the range resources.
When?
The CVM team is always available but they do get booked up many months in advance, especially on Saturdays. However, they will always come if they are free. Contact them now or drop them an email to meet with them. They would love to help you share the message of Jesus with the guys in your community.
