Attention Pastors and Men's Ministry Leaders:

Pricing options and product details at the bottom of this page.

A one-year curriculum and intervention process where men meet weekly to address where-the-rubber-meets-the-road issues they face daily with practical solutions.

History:

On Target Ministries (OTM) through God’s power creates a revival in the hearts of men. It returns them to On-Target Biblical Manhood. OTM dynamically engages the hearts of men in 21st century America. The ministry has conducted hundreds of seminars, workshops and church services over the past decade. It has touched the lives of tens of thousands of people across the United States and Canada, with well over 10,000 first time decisions for Christ.

Results from these events have been tangible and life changing. The BIG QUESTION, however, began to surface over the years — "How do we follow up and help men bring the principles learned into ongoing life changing daily application?"

Four years ago, Vince D’Acchioli, Founder and CEO of On Target Ministries, began a colossal experiment in his home town of Colorado Springs. He called it On Target Institute (OTI). Developing and leading this institute, Vince has ministered to thousands of men in his own community with results showing phenomenally lasting change in the lives of men and families. During this four-year beta test phase in his own community and also 30 churches across North America, OTI has clearly shown itself to be THE ANSWER to the BIG QUESTION.

Our Premise:

The church needs to accelerate its efforts to define spiritual formation for men. Church programs tend to be task oriented rather than relationship based, with time and treasure being invested in focusing on holding events and meetings. If the church only calls men together to "do" there will be no glue to hold them together when the planned event is over. Relationships are that glue. Good Godly role models provide men the vision for who they want to become and a regular, process-driven program with other men helps them make the transformation. At OTI it is our goal to assist the local church in advancing this model.

While spadework has already begun over the last decade through the emergence of the men’s ministry movement, much is still needed. Most knowledgeable leaders in the area of ministry to men would agree that we are losing the battle for the souls of men. This fact is certainly not an indictment aimed at the fine organizations working in this area—rather it represents an alarming reality. A secular, morally bankrupt culture is pulling men away faster than we can save them.

The key to turning this around lies in our willingness to grasp two ideas that will ultimately lead toward the paradigm shift necessary within the church today. First, we need to acknowledge that our efforts are not working as well as they need to. And second, we need to shift from event-driven strategies to process-driven ones. Vince D’Acchioli has said that in some ways we may be unintentionally eventing people to death. 

It is with the understanding of this second idea that On Target Institute was birthed.

OTI develops 50-week curriculum that engages and equips men to address key issues in their lives transforming their character, teaching them leadership skills and touching every aspect of their lives: marriage, family, spiritual, work and community. Through the dynamics of small groups, fellowship with other men and a targeted message each week, men gradually address all components of their life from money to leadership to spirituality. OTI provides a road map for how to lead successful and happy lives.  

OTI has been in a beta test phase for the last four years. It is currently being field tested in more than thirty churches throughout the United States and Canada. OTI has significantly helped men get on track and move toward spiritual maturity and commitment to Christ.
 

Our Plan:
To create an environment where:

This is a nondenominational weekly fellowship open to all men ages 14 and older.

Program Package and pricing options:

This one-year curriculum is packaged into four quarters and a leadership training module.  There are 45 lessons and 4 leadership training sessions all on DVD.

Each lesson is approximately 20-25 minutes long and contains focused discussion questions your men's group will tackle for 30-40 minutes.

Additional resources such as, leadership duties and application form, printable leadership training manual, quarterly review forms, teacher notes, printable lesson plans and more are included on a separate disc.

The package also includes the option to purchase spiral bound manuals with all of the handout materials for your men included for the whole year.

There are three basic ways you can use this material:

1.  Watch the video yourself and prepare your own illustrations to teach the lesson.

2.  Assign someone in your church to show the videos and facilitate the meeting.

3.  Develop a teaching team approach and spread the responsibility around.

The key to the success of this process lies in your ability to attract, motivate and train high quality table-top discussion leaders.

Pricing for this package is not fully developed--please contact us for an option that will meet your church or group's financial goals.
