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.
Men's Movie Night & Dinner
5-8 p.m. Sat. Jan. 24, 2026
Guys over 18 get inspired with a steak dinner and the movie "Alpha" about a young man in caveman times who tries to get home against overwhelming odds during winter with the help of a lone wolf. We'll gather 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. Jan. 24, 2026 at the The Showroom in North Liberty. Cost is $25. This event is open to friends and family members.

about Men's Ministry
“We get to know each other on a level other than just a passing hello at Sunday Service. I look forward to events and the opportunities they provide to foster those new friendships & grow as a man of faith at First Lutheran Church.” – Dan Wolfe
