Men's Day Church Program Ideas

2026-06-10 · 5 min read

Themes, order of service, speakers, and vendor tips to plan a powerful Men's Day service.

Men's Day is a call for men in the congregation and community to lead, worship, and be honored. Done well, it can be one of the most powerful Sundays of the year — one that draws men who don't normally attend and challenges those who do to go deeper in their faith.

Theme Ideas

• "Stand" — Ephesians 6:13
• "Men of Valor"
• "As for Me and My House" — Joshua 24:15
• "Iron Sharpens Iron" — Proverbs 27:17
• "Built to Last"
• "Man Up" — calling men to spiritual maturity
• "Kingdom Men Rising"
• "The Father's Business" — Luke 2:49

Sample Order of Service

• Musical prelude
• Welcome by the Men's Ministry president
• Devotional scripture and prayer by a deacon or elder
• Praise and worship led by men
• Special musical selection
• Scripture reading
• Keynote speaker — male minister or guest speaker
• Altar call
• Acknowledgments and benediction
• Fellowship reception

Making It Engaging

Men's Day services that draw well share a few things in common: a compelling speaker who connects with men's real challenges, music that moves without being performative, and a fellowship component that gives men a chance to connect. Consider hosting a breakfast beforehand — a Saturday morning men's breakfast into a Sunday service is a format many churches have found effective.

Who to Book

• Male guest speaker or preacher — ideally someone who speaks to men's issues directly
• Male gospel singer or musician — set the tone with worship
• Caterer — for a men's breakfast or post-service reception
• Church photographer — to document and promote on social media
