Promise Keepers  

Definition

  • Promise Keepers is a Christian men's movement founded by former University of Colorado football coach Bill McCartney in 1990 and headquartered in Denver. It contributes to ongoing national discussions of men and domesticity dating to the 19th century and reflects directly the late-20th-century rise to national prominence of evangelical Protestantism, feminism, and men's and fathers' rights movements.
