Men Matter. Live Life On Purpose
The mission of Peregrine Ministries is to guide and inspire men on their life journey, to help them pass on a life-giving legacy.
The Latin root of the word “Peregrine” means pilgrim. We are all on a pilgrimage – a physical journey with a spiritual destination – involving highs and lows, twists and turns. When men come out of isolation and enter the beauty of creation they will hear the deep voice of the Spirit that reminds them of life’s higher calling.
Through teaching, mentoring and spiritual guidance, Peregrine Ministries helps men identify the values they truly believe in and make decisions that bring life and grace to the people with whom they live and work.
Our Mission
The mission of Peregrine Ministries is to guide and inspire men on their life journey, to help them pass on a life-giving legacy.
Our Values
Legacy
Legacy is the part of us that lives in others after we’re gone. We receive an inheritance we didn’t choose. Transformation determines the legacy we will pass on.
Transformation
Every word we write and every action we take as a ministry is to see the hearts of men increasingly transformed into the likeness of Christ.
Authenticity
We aspire to conduct our relationships with a commitment to being truthful about ourselves, so that the man others see is increasingly consistent with the man we are beneath the surface.
Community
We pursue the “Third Place”- not home, and not work, it’s a setting where we know others deeply, reveal ourselves genuinely, and simply enjoy each other’s presence.
Integrity
The commitment to make every decision with honesty, even when it hurts. Willingly speaking the truth in love; bringing both courage and compassion.
Compassion
The conscious choice to feel what others feel, and to act on their behalf. It comes from our own wounds that are healed and redeemed.
Redemption
When God takes a part of our story that is broken, and turns it around 180% to make it a powerful source of healing for others.
Mission
Being compelled to act, speak and live from the deepest part of our hearts for the benefit of others. The unique combination of God-given talents, gifts and values that create God’s calling in our lives. We can’t not do it.
Adventure
We embrace the risk, challenge and exhilaration of regularly engaging with Creation.
Significance
Reminding ourselves, and teaching men, that our significance is not based on our Power, Possessions and Prestige, but on the foundation of who our Creator is.
Transcendence
We intentionally plan for experiences where we guide men into the power of transcendence: where we look past the brokenness of this world, and gain glimpses of the glory of God through the majesty of his Creation, the wonder of Worship and the joy of Brotherhood.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see a growing community of men who:
- Understand their identity in Christ
- Embrace their role as men
- Live out the personal calling God has for their life
Our Faith
The Bible
The Bible is inspired of God, inerrant in the original documents, fully trustworthy and of final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
God-The Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary, was true God and true man existing in one person and was without sin. His sacrifice is representative and substitutionary. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the Father where He now ministers as Lord of all, High Priest and Advocate and will one day return in power and glory.
Salvation
Each member of the human race is fallen, sinful and lost and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of man. Redemption is wholly by the blood of Christ and salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit indwells and gives life to believers, enables them to understand and apply the Scriptures, empowers them for godly living and equips them for service and witness.
Eternity
There will be a resurrection of the saved and of the lost; of the saved unto eternal life, and of the lost unto eternal and conscious judgment.
The Church
The Church began with the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and is composed of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. These believers are united to Him and to one another by the indwelling Spirit. This means that the Church, as a whole, is not an organization but a living organism, known as the Body of Christ.
OUR TEAM
Over 40 years of ministry experience in international missions, executive leadership and pastoral guidance. Experienced in one-on-one coaching, small group team facilitation and large group speaking.

Jim’s journey with Peregrine began in 2004 when he attended a men’s retreat where Craig was one of the leaders. Jim’s heart for men to live authentic, transformed lives resulted in a compelling call to join with Craig and Peregrine.
