Agrees to our Statement of Faith and Guiding Principles:

 Statement of Faith
1. I believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. The Scriptures are without error and are unchangeable. They have the power to accomplish His purpose of salvation. 
2. I believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons -- the Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- who is the Creator and Lord of the universe and who governs all things according to His will and purposes. 
3. I believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, and in His miracles. 
4. I believe in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection and in His ascension to the right hand of the Father. I eagerly anticipate His visible and personal return in power and glory.
 5. I believe that Jesus Christ is God's only provision for sin and that salvation is wholly a work of God's free grace and not of works, goodness or religious ceremony. When I put my faith in Christ alone for salvation, God credited me with His righteousness and justified me in His sight.
 6. I believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
 7. I believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling I am enabled to live a godly life. 
8. I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and lost -- the saved unto the resurrection of life; the lost unto the resurrection of the damnation. 
9. I believe Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, His body, which is composed of all people, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith. 
10. I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." I believe in a total commitment to this Great Commission and to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I hereby subscribe to the above statements and pledge myself to help fulfill the Great Commission in my generation, depending upon the Holy Spirit to guide and empower me. In resigning this, I acknowledge that there have been no changes in my agreement with these doctrines and I commit to inform the leadership of Man in the Mirror of any changes should they occur.

Our Guiding Principles
What are the compelling ideas swirling at the core of our ministry? What are the philosophies, values, beliefs, convictions, goals, and the dreams that animate us? What, and who, are we “for”? 
We are for Christ. Our principal task is to glorify and enjoy Christ through our work. We desire for each associate to passionately love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. There must be an intensity we bring to loving God. We must learn to love him with every ounce of our energy and the sum of our strength. Our work for God must proceed from the overflow of our walk with God. 

We are for each other. The impact we have on those outside our walls will be limited to the impact we have on each other. We must first become to each other what we want men, men’s leaders, pastors, and the church to become. This means we maintain an environment to celebrate each other’s giftedness. We must love each other as Christ would love. We will keep it fun. Never doubt the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. That’s about the only way it has ever happened in the past. Margaret Mead, anthropologist 

We are for a spiritual awakening. We want to foster a spirit of deep and sustained revival. We pray God will take off the roof and drench our nation with His Spirit like fresh rain. Our part? God has called us to equip leaders who reach men. He has given us a life-changing message. We will help leaders show men the cross for their sins and the resurrection for new life. We believe that if men will bring themselves into the real presence of Jesus, He will show them what to do. For this reason we will set “Big Holy Audacious Goals.” Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood. Daniel Burnham, on devising Chicago’s Plan of 1909. 

We are for innovation. We want people to expect our next steps to be unexpected. We want to draw outside the lines. We want to be the cutting-edge leader in reaching men. We are not in competition with anyone. Rather, we believe a rising tide raises all boats. 

We are for reaching as many men as possible. We are stewards of a great calling. We reach men only to the extent that we encourage and equip leaders. Therefore, we must create a high perception of value. We want to make leaders curious about who we are and what we do. We want leaders to be better off after every interaction with us. Whether or not they have attended a training event, distributed books, or held a seminar – we want to occupy the position in a leader’s mind that MIM is where to turn for effective resources that reach men. 

We are for going the second mile. We want to astound those we serve with attention to detail, doing the little things right, an unswerving commitment to excellence, and virtual perfection in quality. “Quality is free.” Our desire is to always do it right the first time. Professionalism is our hallmark. 
We are for self-funding. We want each ministry project to pay its own way after start-up.

I will endeavor by God’s grace to make these principles my own, and make my work reflect their worth.
