Men's Ministry

    Most men are under great time pressure...
They feel like they are carrying the world on their shoulders...   
     And they often get caught up in the rat race of life.

 

 

We meet on the 4th Monday of each month at 7pm, to encourage men, young and old, married and unmarried,

  • Build relationships with other men to encourage spiritual growth and discipleship.
  • Break out of the "go it alone" mode and becoming accountable to other men.
  • Learn how to become the spiritual leader of his family, be a useful servant in the church, and have an impact in his community.

We are presently studying "Stepping UP: A Call to Courageous Manhood" by Dennis Rainey

In Dennis Rainey's newest book, Stepping Up, he tackles head-on the call to living, breathing manhood, offering a simple yet powerful vision for what it means to be a man who truly conquers and wins. Perfect for men of all ages who aspire to an effective life. Stepping Up is written using biblical insights from truths learned in over 40 years of ministry with men. Included in the book are inspiring stories from both Dennis' life and the lives of other courageous men. Insights include: Six nonnegotiables for training teenage young men; the temptation men face to step down; three qualities of men who finish well. Stepping Up offers a simple yet powerful vision for what it means to be the men God created them to be.
