THE PURPOSE
“Helping each man discover Christ’s Unique mission for his life by partnering with him as he PURSUES his relationship with God, ENGAGES in spiritual friendships and CONFRONTS the needs of his community”

KEY VERSE
“But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith.”
1 Timothy 6:11

SMALL GROUPS:

A small group is a gathering, usually 6-12 men, who meet to offer mutual acceptance, support for one another’s goals, and encouragement for life’s challenges. They may discuss the Bible, or books with spiritual focus to discover truths for their own lives.

Most of the Men’s groups meet at the church while others meet at homes.  Most groups are 12 weeks in length and are open to men ages 19 and older.

If you sometimes wonder why you’re here, would like to know more about prayer, how to read the Bible, or live your faith day to day, a small group may be useful.  In a small group, it’s OK to talk about all of these things with others who are on a similar journey.  The chances are that in listening you’ll find out who you really are, learn more about who God is, and discover resources that will energize your life.

The Book of Ezekiel Study

By:  Chuck Missler

The book of Ezekiel contains some of the most incredible prophecies in the Bible, including detailed description of a Nuclear War and the cleanup afterward.  Ezekiel ministered to a nation experiencing judgment for their sins, and may have some lessons for us today.  Ezekiel’s name means “God strengthens, or God will strengthen.”  Ezekiel is one of the three that were called Captivity Prophets (the other two are Jeremiah and Daniel).  Ezekiel never mentions Jeremiah in his writings, but he does mention Daniel three times.

“The Book of Ezekiel” small group meets on Wednesdays at 9-10:30 am on campus.

There is not a book fee, however donations for the study are accepted during class.
