What is Iron Sharpens Iron?

Iron Sharpens IronIron Sharpens Iron Men's Conferences are a resource for local churches offered by an on-the-ground local ministry (Relevant Practical Ministry for Men). RPM serves local churches by equipping them to reach, disciple, and mobilize men.

Iron Sharpens Iron Men's Conferences are hosted by regional ministries with a heart and specific focus on men. These independent ministries have networked together to provide a national feel. However, ISI is not a national organization. All ISI conferences follow the same format to provide consistency in the event.

The ISI conference is a one-day event. Conference day is Saturday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. (It is important to note that Relevant Practical Ministry for Men, the local, on-the-ground ministry, serves local churches fifty two weeks a year to equip, disciple, and mobilize their men.)

Iron Sharpens Iron Men's Conferences are equipping conferences with sixteen different equipping seminars designed specifically for men. The day opens and closes with all the men together for a time of masculine worship and exhortative messages from gifted keynote speakers, but the meat of the day are the equipping seminars.

Iron Sharpens Iron Men's Conferences are for men of all ages (13 and up). We intentionally offer a resource that promotes and encourages intergenerational ministry. We design several of the seminars to be specific to men in different seasons of life. (This conference is for all men, not just leaders and/or pastors.)

Iron Sharpens Iron Men's Conferences occur once a year, every year, in the same location and in the same spot in the calendar. They have become a local resource that local churches can trust and depend on.
