Mens Ministries
Mission
Provide fellowship opportunities that help men experience and understand God’s plan in their daily life.
Overview
The Men’s Ministry has on going events and support ministries. The Men’s Ministry Council meets monthly to plan on going events and new projects. All of our meetings are open and welcome anyone who wants to get involved with leading a ministry project or just who need connection with other men of the church. Like many groups we have our annual traditions but make sure to keep our calendar open to the needs of the broader church and to the whims/ideas of the men who participate.
Many of our active members also provide leadership to other ministry projects within our church. It is our hope that by building relationships at our events you may be inspired to become more involved in the broader ministry of our church.
