Men’s Ministry – THE GRIND

Mission Statement
Our mission is to disciple men into leaders; in the church, in our homes, and in our community with a firm foundation on the Word of God, which is ‘the’ standard of truth, while remembering we live by Grace alone. Inspiring men to have a personal relationship with Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. As born again believers, we have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to be faithful and obedient imitators of Christ. Our desire is to develop men with a love for God and one another, who put faith into action by being doers of the word and not hearers only….Shema!

Vision Statement
Our vision for this ministry is to create an atmosphere of discipleship, where like-minded men can build relationships, encourage and sharpen one another, serve one another, and bear each other’s burdens. Generating a culture of men with a desire to learn and grow into a deeper understanding of God’s word, while developing into spiritually mature men with strong character and integrity. Ultimately, we must be unified in Christ, on mission, and ready to share the gospel with believers and unbelievers alike.

We’ve covered a dozen study books over the years as a group of men seeking God. From John Eldridge to numerous books on the bible and even some RC Sproul.

We seek his face through passionate conversation and connection with one another.
