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 2nd and 4th Tuesday 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 "Real Men Lead" by Jeffrey (Duke) Crawford

When God created man, He gave Adam the role of leadership—leadership over the animals and leadership over Eve and their home. Later when God established the church, He gave men the role of leadership as elders and pastors.

Whatever your position in life, somewhere, somehow, you will find yourself a leader—whether it is in your home, your place of employment, your church, or your community. It is often easy to let someone else take the responsibility (the headaches) of leadership. You can hand it over officially or you can relinquish it through passivity. But real men don’t roll over to let someone else do the leading. Real Men Lead!

When God established a throne for the nation of Israel, He gave the leadership to men, first to Saul and then to David. The books of 1 and 2 Samuel reveal the life of David, the greatest king of Israel. Now there was a leader. And God has graciously recorded David’s strengths and weaknesses that we might learn from them.

In this study you will investigate David, who led everything from a rag-tag group of “losers,” to Israel at its height as a nation. You will discover how God equipped David for leadership, how his relationship with God affected his leadership, and what he did as an effective, godly leader.

As you study these lessons on your own or with a group of men, you will be challenged to become a more effective, godly leader yourself. You will find that you can be a real man who leads.
