Mission Statement & Group Discription
Mission Statement
'Men's Group' is categorized as a "Discussion Fellowship Group" designed to be long-term and low-pressure. We are a group of men who seek a genuine relationship with God and find it more of an adventure when navigating it together. To find our benchmark, we dig into God's word to actively apply it to our lives through teaching, debating, rebuking, and encouraging one another. We are in the pursuit to become the men God designed us to be, the men he is calling us to be, and the men he is equipping us to be.
Why Join us?
This is a place... A place of refuge for authenticity- no masks, just come as you are. A place to refuel... Body, Mind, Spirit. A place of celebration in our forthcoming transparency versus the forced honesty. A place of restoration while momentarily removing our spiritual warfare-afflicted armor to regroup after the week of war. A place of encouragement for taking responsibility for our natural man (sin nature) and submitting ourselves to the Holy Spirit.
A place of submission by coming under the authority of Christ, little by little, with the renewing of our minds. A place of construction of our own integrity through our vulnerability with each other. A place of growth fed by the honor and respect of confidentiality. "What happens in group stays in group."
A place of accountability with men you develop trust in over time. A place of laughter because life is messy. A place of learning foundational biblical truth while wrestling with the uncertainty of your faith. A place of receiving in ways you can't anywhere else. A place of blessing others with your time, talent, and wisdom.
A place of brotherhood is being forged with each step of faith we take following Jesus together. Jesus is leading us to be a place of grace and truth that is equipping us to bravely place our worth, validation and identities in him. This is not just a place, it's your place. Join Us!
