Although our focus is called Men’s Ministry, our strategy reaches into marriage, parenting, discipleship, evangelism, youth development, leadership development and missions.
We believe that men are integral to every ministry and that men need to be discipled, encouraged, challenged and trained to become leaders in every one of these areas.
This begins by helping men to see that we’re all the same, with the same questions and in need of an answer that is bigger than we are. We do this through a variety of activities including:
- Special events
- Bible study
- Small groups
- Fellowships
- Sunday School
- Ministry involvement
The goal of each of these is to connect men with strong Christian men who can help them to grow into spiritual leaders, or, as Proverbs 27:17 says, ”As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
We have accepted a challenge from our Pastor for the to expand the influence of this ministry into new area
:
- To integrate men into our church through stragetic discipleship.
- To reach the men of our church and the greater North Georgia community through a sportsmen’s dinner designed to reach men for Jesus in an unorthodox way.
- To lead and direct the annual Student Leadership University golf tournament and the effort to train students through Student Leadership University.
Man 2 Man Bible Study:
1st and 3rd Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. D107
For every ten men in church, nine will have children who leave the church. Eight will be unsatisfied with their jobs. Six will pay only the monthly minimum on their credit cards. Five will have a major problem with pornography. Four will get divorced (affecting one million children per year). Only one will have a biblical world view. All ten will wrestle to balance work and family. The issues facing men today require solutions beyond just regular church attendance. It takes discipline and determination to keep faith strong.
Do you long to be close to God? To walk in His ways? To capture His joy and excitement for your life. Life is in the details, and this holds true when it comes to our spiritual walk. Many times the difference between a man who has a faith that is alive and vibrant and the man who feels alone and apart from God is linked to how they approach the regular disciplines of their spiritual walk.
Join us March 16, 2011 as we begin a series that addresses the details of a life with God as we look first at “A man and the Bible”.
