Welcome to MEN in CHRIST the KING! An organization of Christian men in Illinois who inspire, encourage, and lead our brothers to live authentically Christian lives. Centered in Vicariate I of the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, but also having participants from the Rockford and Joliet dioceses, we have hosted three Annual Men's Conferences at Marytown in Libertyville, Illinois in 2021-23. Christian Men's Group Facilitation and Life Coaching is offered through The King's Council. This site is a resource providing inspiration, information, and interchange among area Catholic men. We also promote an outstanding experiential program for Christian men through MARKED MEN FOR CHRIST*, a non-denominational global Christian men's ministry.
MARKED MEN FOR CHRIST*, "Building Stronger Men for Jesus Christ" founded in 2001, is a non-denominational, Spirit-led global Christian ministry. Mission Statement: Building stronger men for Jesus Christ through an ongoing series of transformational experiences. Vision: Men throughout the world being healed and made whole, living a personal mission through the transformational power of Jesus Christ - and for His church.

All participants of whatever Christian communion, must expressly subscribe to the following Statement fo Faith:
"We believe in GOD the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; We believe in JESUS CHRIST, His only Son, Our Lord. He was conceived bu the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day He rose again, He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the HOLY SPIRIT, the holy and universal CHURCH the Communion of Saints, the FORGIVENESS of sins, the RESURRECTION of the body, and life everlasting."

“It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going... People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.” -- Carl G. Jung
