The Shipright
Men! Welcome, friends, to The Shipright. This is a gathering place for men. Not for women, or for boys, but for men. I know you are out there. Virtuous men, strong men, disciplined men, Godly men, holy warriors. Scattered across this country. Some of you have formed teams, small brotherhoods of warriors. Others feel isolated, Ronin, lone warriors fighting for their faith in an increasingly hostile world. Our society increasingly tries to separate, isolate, and emasculate its men. It fears Godly men, because Godly men are inherently dangerous. Dangerous in the best way possible. We are willing to fight for the truth. At The Shipright we believe that masculinity is not only good, but it is necessary. True masculinity is built in the company of other men. The Shipright builds communities of Christian Man who are not afraid to be men, to be dangerous, and to stand up for what they believe. If you are interested in growing in your faith, pursuing holy, virtuous masculinity, and fellowshipping with other strong disciplined Christian Men, apply to join our brotherhood at The Shipright.

What We Believe
1. We believe that sex is for marriage and that sex is a good thing: We believe that sex is designed for monogamous marital relations between one man and one woman (Gen 1:27-28; 2:18, 21-24; Mt 19:4-6; Mk 10:5-8; 1 Cor 7:7; Heb 13:4; Eph 5:22). This Biblical design is the sole source of sexual fulfillment; any sexual activity outside it is improper. We believe and the Bible affirms that human sexuality is a gift to be treasured and enjoyed (Gen 2:24; Prov 5:19, 31:10; 1 Cor 7:4).
2. We believe that marriage is a lifelong commitment: We believe that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman and that divorce is not an option.* God hates divorce. He hates it because it always involves unfaithfulness to the solemn covenant of marriage that two people have entered into before Him, and because it brings harmful consequences to those partners and their children (Mal. 2:14-16). In Matthew 19:3-9, Christ teaches clearly that divorce violates God’s original purpose for the intimate unity and permanence of the marriage bond (Gen. 2:24).
3. We believe that the purpose of life and relationships is to glorify Christ: As children of God, we have submitted ourselves without reservation to His good governance. God leads us now, individually and corporately. We are governed solely by the Word. (Mat. 6:33; Ecc. 12:13-14; Mic. 6:8; Rom. 12:2)
4. We believe that you should never settle: We believe that there is a beautiful, intelligent Christian woman waiting for you. We believe she is worth the wait and that we can find her. (2 Cor 6:14-15; Song of Solomon)
5. We believe in honesty and transparency: We will always tell you what we think, even if it's not what you want to hear. We expect the same standard of honesty from all of our clients. We do not believe in playing games, playing hard to get, or pretending to be someone else. We believe that the only true path to a successful relationship is honesty, transparency, and a mutual love of Christ. (Col. 3:9; Eph 4:25; Luke 6:31; Pro 12:22)
*note: This is generally the case; however there are very few biblical exceptions to this rule
