All The King's Men is a program that began in 1995 to meet the specific need for a men's fellowship within and among the churches of the American Baptist Association. The program was initiated by Pastor Mike Rice and sponsored by Arp First Baptist Church of Arp, Texas . Other churches across Texas and in a number of other states as well as in some foreign countries have also adopted and adapted the program and the materials offered for use by their own men's groups.

In contrast, ATKM is established with the understanding that the denominational "walls" of Missionary Baptist Churches are comprised of doctrinal bricks and are LANDMARKS which are intended by God to give His people a place to "...come out from among them and be separate...". These Landmark doctrines must not be moved, much less "torn down".

Furthermore, the "body of Christ" will never be composed of different world religions and/or denominations, for the King of kings has designated His church (His local church) as His body and He is the Head. Our purpose is not to try and tear down God's walls of truth but to bring as many people within those walls as possible.

ATKM is intended to be a program which can be used to promote faithfulness, steadfastness and growth in a men's fellowship through learning and sharing with other faithful men who are truly seeking God's will with a desire to grow in His service to be the men He wants them to be.

HOW DOES ATKM DIFFER FROM

OTHER RELIGIOUS MEN'S GROUPS?

Actually, it differs a great deal. From its beginning, ATKM was designed to be used in and through a Landmark Missionary Baptist Church which does not intend to sacrifice doctrinal truths in order to compromise and join in with ecumenical organizations such as "Promise Keepers", etc. According to P.K. statements, one of their goals is to "break down the walls...of denominational divisiveness...to become the body of Christ God intends."

AMERICAN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION

Churches who decide to use All The King's Men material are certainly not required to make any promises outside those made to the Lord and according to their own church covenant. However, honesty calls for those who use this material and the name of "All The King's Men" to be faithful to its obvious and unconcealed intent.

TEXAS BAPTIST INSTITUTE & SEMINARY

SPECIAL LINKS!

Each year on or about the first weekend in May, an annual ATKM Men's Retreat is held at Pine Springs Baptist Encampment near Laneville, Texas. Men from many ABA churches gather for an encouraging time of worship and fellowship and relaxing fun.

There is no doubt that God's will for His churches is that they be faithful to His Word, steadfast in His will and growing in His work. If these characteristics are to be seen in the Lord's churches, they must also be seen in the men who are called by God to be leaders and workers in His churches. As a result, these same characteristics will be found in the families that comprise those churches.
