Men's Mentoring

Men's Mentoring at The Ridge

Men’s Mentoring involves a six-month commitment to cultivating a relationship between two men as they journey together through a life focused on learning about Jesus. 

Mentors

Mentors are not Bible scholars or counselors; rather, they simply feel the nudge to intentionally come alongside another man to offer encouragement and care. Mentors listen well and point their mentee to God and to His Word. 

Mentees

Mentees are men at various points along life's journey who feel they could benefit from someone who will listen to and encourage them. The mentee is not required to be a Christian, but the focus of the relationship is to learn more about Jesus and the Bible. So, a mentee might be someone curious about Jesus or someone newer to faith who would like to learn more. The mentee might also be someone who has been a follower of Jesus for many years and would like to have a mentor for a season.

After Completing The Application:
You will receive an email that your form has been received.  Mentors and mentees are matched by a confidential team seeking God's guidance in the process. They are also matched based on what they expressed about their life stage, their hope for the journey, and their availability. The mentee and mentor will meet with someone on the mentor team to discuss their involvement in the program before they begin. The process of finding the right match can take a few weeks.

For the Mentor Program:
Once we have discerned the right match, they will be contacted to begin the process.  Resources will be provided for the mentor to prepare for the initial meeting with his mentee. During the initial meeting, the mentor/mentee can get to know each other and make a plan for future meetings. The mentor will let the leadership team know when the initial meeting occurs to kick off the official start of the six-month relationship.  From there, they will receive monthly support and encouragement from the mentor leadership team to help navigate their time together.
