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.

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
