Purpose/Mission Statement
The purpose of our Men's Ministry is to equip men to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Please follow this LINK to view the Men's Ministry Mission Statement.
As a ministry, we will have:
Wednesday Evening Bible Study - (Fall through Spring, 6:30pm) The men study the same book of the Bible as the women & teens. This affords us the opportunity to lead our families in discussions about God's Word.
First Mondays - Monthly Men's Ministry Meetings on the first Monday of each month that include:
- A delicious meal
- Hear a fellow man in the congregation “Share His Story”
- A Bible study relevant to Christian men in their walk; currently using chapters from Disciplines of a Godly Man by R. Kent Hughes as a starting point for teaching/discussion
- Interactive table discussions
- Worship
- Prayer time
- Fellowship time
Please follow this LINK for audio of First Monday Lessons and Testimonies.
