Here, you belong. Here, you will become.
At Mantle and Crown, we believe men thrive when they are free to belong as they are and encouraged to become all God has called them to be. Our values shape who we are as a brotherhood and guide how we live, lead, and grow together.
Living the Values
These values are not slogans—they are a way of life. We believe that together, as a community of brothers, we can embody the call of 1 Peter 2:9:
For you are a chosen people. You are royal priests [priests who are kings], a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
Our Values
Belonging & Becoming
Belonging means every man has a place in this brotherhood. We are not defined by our pasts, our status, or our failures—we are defined by Christ.
Becoming means we are all in process. Iron sharpens iron, and together we are learning to walk as men of integrity, strength, and compassion.

Authenticity & Aspiration
Authenticity means we show up honestly. No masks, no pretense. We share our real joys and our real struggles.
Aspiration means we aim higher. We don’t settle for “good enough.” We pursue Christ as our standard and measure success by faithfulness, not perfection.

Acceptance & Alignment
Acceptance means we rest in God’s unconditional love. Nothing we’ve done disqualifies us from His grace.
Alignment means we walk in step with His truth. God loves us where we are, but He also leads us into something greater—aligning our lives with His design.

Freedom & Formation

Formation means our freedom is not for indulgence, but for transformation. We are shaped into Christ’s image through Scripture, prayer, and brotherhood.
