OUR MISSION

In a non-threatening, safe atmosphere, Reel Men of God provides Christian-based lifestyle model, fellowship, mentoring, and evangelism to men in our community with an interest in fishing.

Larry McClure, Founder, Reel Men of God

“Helping each other become better fishermen
…and better men”

When Jesus began his public ministry, he recruited a small group of men to follow him.

His first four picks were fishermen.

Fishing isn’t usually considered a “churchy” activity, yet many parallels exist between chasing fish and fishing for men. Reel Men of God uses fishing as a way to share the love and grace of Jesus Christ with our friends and neighbors in a relaxed, non-threatening environment. Along the way it fosters enduring Christian relationships and encourages both members and guests to live up to the high calling of Christ.

RMOG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is funded by donations from private and business sponsors and through contributions of its members.
