Fellowship Men

Making disciples begins with showing up in real relationships, not just signing up for programs. It grows around tables, in living rooms, over coffee, and honest conversation. As we walk together in authentic community, opening Scripture, asking hard questions, and putting the words of Jesus into practice, faith can take root in everyday life.

Next Men's Event: March 22, "The Great Kebab"  Reserve your spot

Get Involved

The Great Kebab

"The Great Kebab" is happening in the Student Center on Sunday, March 22 at 5:30pm. This meal is about deepening existing relationships, sharing stories, making a few new connections, and strengthening community. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to connect! Cost is $10. Please register by Thursday, March 18 to reserve your spot. We hope to see you there!

Groups

Our groups are a place for men to build real, biblical friendships, not surface talk, but brothers who know your name, your story, and your struggles. Together we open scripture and wrestle honestly with the pressures of work, marriage, fatherhood, temptation, and purpose.
 We are a growing band of men learning to follow Jesus with steady hearts, to show up for one another, seeking the Spirit in the middle of everyday life, and to lead our homes and communities with both grit and grace.
