Men's Ministry
Why have a men's ministry?
To challenge all of our men to be Godly and to stand up and be counted for truth, righteousness, and holiness. I Corinthians 16:13 is our biblical mandate; "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong."
What are some activities of this ministry?
Men's Fellowship Breakfasts - (Jon Tofte, coordinator) - During most every month of the year, we meet on a Saturday morning for a time of fellowship, sharing, and encouragement. Our speakers are primarily lay persons who present on-point, targeted devotionals drawing from their own walks with the Lord. Our goal is to provide encouragement for men to be the “real deal” by living a genuine Christian life not only at church, but even more importantly at home, at work, and everywhere they go.
Men’s Barbecues - Guys like to eat, and our Men’s Barbecues provide some serious eating! Beyond the great smells of hickory and old-fashioned smoked meats, our barbecue gatherings prove to be a time of strengthening relationships among men. They are also an excellent opportunity to introduce young and old men alike, who might never accept an invitation to a church service, to the influence of the gospel and to a time of fellowship with men serious about serving God.
Future Plans – We are working toward additional venues for our men to grow in commitment, courage, and compassion. We plan to put together meaningful opportunities for small groups and one-on-one accountability as well as provide new outlets for practical service. Our goal is to put feet to the gospel by implementing the admonishments found in the Book of James and by meeting the spiritual and the physical needs of those around us.
