ABOUT MASTER’S MEN EAST

Master’s Men Racing was formed in 2000 as an answer to the demand for chaplaincy in racing. Currently Master’s Men Racing has become its own “chartered non-profit” and has been renamed Master’s Men East. This change was necessitated by the ministry’s growth in the business community, developing new Master’s Men Teams. Therefore, it was decided to broaden the name. Nonetheless, the ministry has a major footing in motorsports to date, specifically in NASCAR’S Cup and other series. We also serve as series chaplains for ARCA.

MISSION OF MME

MASTER’S MEN EAST is focused on engaging and discipling men within the unique world of motorsports. MME also seeks to challenge Christian businessmen throughout the Eastern U.S. to be bold in their walk with Christ as they lead at home, in the workplace and in their communities.

MME CHAPLAINS ACTIVITIES

MASTER’S MEN EAST chaplains serve the employees in NASCAR and ARCA shops through weekly Men’s Team studies where we lead the men through Scriptural answers to the daily issues they face.  Each week our chaplains spend time walking through the shops to engage all employees. We do this to spend time with those who may not attend the study, but still want to talk through struggles and concerns they face.  Our chaplains also perform weddings and funerals for those with whom they have developed a more personal relationship.

MME chaplains attend multiple racing events throughout the season where they have devotionals with race teams, prayer with drivers and crew, and “on the spot” counseling sessions.  MME’s chaplain to the ARCA Racing Series attends each of the ARCA events holding a chapel service and serving the pastoral needs of the entire community.

MASTER’S MEN EAST is now at a new location. To learn more about this division of the Master’s Men visit mastersmeneast.com.
