Men's Ministry

Every Tuesday night a group of men gather together at Mark Keller's house to share their lives, laughter, and love of God's word.  Over the years these simple gatherings have been times of great growth, friendship, help, strength and unity.  God has given men great callings in life and we need good, practice, and encouraging ways to grow strong, moral, and confident men ready for His work.

The Men's Retreat takes place October 3-4 at Birchwood Camp. The theme for the weekend is "Friendship Evangelism" featuring guest speaker Jack English from Fayetteville, Arkansas. The cost for the weekend is only $10. You must register by  September 28. Complete details are available in the registration form. Men of all ages, including young men 9th grade and up, are encouraged to attend this fun-filled, spiritually-minded weekend. For those that choose to spend the night, the camp features heated cabins furnished with beds. Hot showers are also available.

There is a direct correlation between the time spent with one another and the growth of the church.
