Promise Keepers

Finding a brotherhood of men who will sharpen your faith and hold you accountable is one of the deepest needs in the Christian life — and that's exactly what the Promise Keepers app was built to provide.^1

Promise Keepers is a free app that serves as a digital community hub for the historic men's ministry founded by Coach Bill McCartney in 1990.^2 Through the app, men can access a growing library of audio devotionals, video sermons, and Bible study content from vetted Christian leaders. It also functions as a social platform where you can discover and connect with like-minded men in your area, create private groups with discussion boards and messaging, and engage with Promise Keepers events — both local and national.^1

The ministry's story is one of the most remarkable in modern church history. What started with 72 men in Boulder, Colorado grew into stadium rallies that drew over a million men, culminating in the legendary "Stand in the Gap" gathering on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on October 4, 1997.^2 After years of quieter activity, Promise Keepers is experiencing a bold resurgence under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Shane Winnings, a military veteran, former law enforcement officer, preacher, and author who took the helm in January 2024.^3 The ministry is now running "Wake-Up Call" men's conferences across the country and an "America Needs Godly Men — Prove Me Wrong" college campus tour that's sparking real conversations about faith and manhood on university campuses nationwide.^4

"The first time I heard of Promise Keepers was in 2021 conference in Arlington, TX. In that conference I gave my life to God. My life has changed a lot. I downloaded this app and it has been a Blessing to me ever since. I recommend this app to any man that wants to get closer to God and to have strong Godly men to mentor them."^5

"The PK App has become an important part of my daily walk with HIM. Inspirational content and great discussions, friendships and a great accountability partner in my daily walk."^5

"PK offered me answers for my life as a man, father, husband that I could not easily access in the local church."^6

Promise Keepers has been endorsed by Franklin Graham, who said the ministry "has been ministering biblical truth to men for some 31 years, and has had a tremendous impact on so many lives."^7 The organization is headquartered in Colorado Springs, CO, and has expanded internationally with branches in Canada and New Zealand.^2 In 2025–2026, the ministry launched its "Make Dads Great Again" campaign alongside ongoing Wake-Up Call conferences and campus outreach, signaling a renewed commitment to reaching the next generation of men for Christ.^4
