Men's ministry

Connect & Grow with Other Men

Our men's ministry team, known as the "Guy Squad," meets every-other month to plan movie nights, fun trips, book studies, and service projects. We intentionally try to engage men in their 20's, 30's, and 40's who traditionally haven't had a strong interest in church and meet them on their level.

“One Year to Live”

Men, imagine a weekend enjoying the fall colors of the outdoors with no cell phone. No demands on you. Just you and God, and a bunch of guys on the same journey. You’ll experience good food, hiking, prayer, and growing closer to our Creator.
