Our Story

In 2020, Men and Jesus started in our board member, Dr. Chris Cook’s, backyard. The Founder, JR Slaughter, was a single dad raising his daughters full-time over the past ten years and felt a calling to support men who might be struggling to live in the Spirit. In 2023, God led JR to fully commit to this mission and transform Men and Jesus into a nonprofit organization focused on uniting men with Jesus while bridging the gap between East and West Louisville and supporting single dads. In January 2024, Men and Jesus officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
