History of M.O.G. On December 5, 1999, seven brothers (God's number of completion) who had been attending a weekly bible study at a local Lubbock, TX community church (Community Baptist Church) decided to compile their gifts and talents given by God, to be used by God in order to effectively minister to the body of Christ. Spencer Jones, Rodney Shepherd, Bryan Miller, Dameon Randall-Dennis, Roswell Smith Jr. and David Moody III heeded to the word of God, which states, "the harvest is great but the labors are few." The brothers felt the power of God on their lives to bring about this much-needed ministry to the Lubbock community and to the world so that Christian brothers could truly serve God through ministry. On this date the mission, vision, purpose, and focus were written down and from that came what you see today. The first meeting held by the founders was on December 5, 1999 at one of the founder’s apartments. The founding chapter at Texas Tech University is now officially the Eleazar Chapter.
During a Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Step Show in Lubbock, TX, Men of God was called to minister and the founding brothers had to select a name. The founders could not agree on a name because the brothers simply wanted to be known as, “Men of God.” That night the name, Men of God was established.
Today, these brothers and many others are part of a royal priesthood, a chosen generation, and a holy nation that is called to be the head and not the tail. The brothers of Men of God want to take the lead in guiding this holy nation by bringing together and unifying people of various backgrounds, on one accord in serving God. After the initial seven worked tirelessly to minister to others while establishing the organization as a force others came to the organization and the fraternity became incorporated on December 11, 2000.
In a short existence, the brothers have ministered at numerous events including church functions, conferences, step shows, and university programs in and around the state of Texas. Men of God has done countless hours of community service and has sponsored and supported many events such as the "Raise Da Praise" Jesus Party, NMMBC Retreat, T. D. Jake's "Man Power", the Impact Movement, and Men of God’s own Kingdom Conference: A meeting of the Kingdom Warriors. The Fraternity does a number of outreach ministries and has led a number of souls to Christ.
The brothers continue to press on toward the mark in which God has called the ministry. The brothers of Men of God want to continue to bring together the true essence of fellowship, leadership, education of the word, and servant-hood and continue to have a vision of bringing these attributes together in one organization so that all brothers can come and partake of the power of God, which comes after brothers truly, dwell together in unity.
Arming themselves with Ephesians 6:10-18 so that they will remain firm in their stance and truly believing that it is good when brothers dwell together in unity, these brothers continue to prepare themselves for spiritual warfare, for bring others to Christ, and supporting and promoting the Christian Culture.
