Men’s Ministry

We are a community of men driven by a passion for the glory of God, existing to “equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ” (Eph 4:12).  For more information contact an elder or the contact listed below.

Currently, opportunities for men are listed below.

Small Groups. Topics and locations change throughout the year. Contact Stephen O’Brien with any questions. Current groups are:

• Fridays at 6:30 – 7:30 am. Led by Pastor Steve & Pastor Des at the church. Currently we are studying the book of 2 Thessalonians. 

Recently Studied: 1 Thessalonians, Courageous Churchmen by Jerry Wragg, Titus, James, All Things For Good by Thomas Watson, Hebrews, Galatians.

Leadership Training.  Our focus is to disciple men toward a spiritual maturity of Christ. All men are welcome to join us at 8am at the church on the 4th Saturday of every month. We will be reading through & discussing a number of books together as men.

This year’s books will include:

• “Devoted to God – Blueprints for Sanctification” by Sinclair Ferguson

• “The Word Became Fresh” by Dale Ralph Davis
• “Biblical Eldership” by Alexander Strauch

Mentoring.  Our focus is to disciple men toward a spiritual maturity of Christ. How better than to spend time together 1:1 or in small groups to encourage one another to love and good works for the edification of each other. Heb 10:24. Mentor circles are active throughout our church across NWA.  Some have been in place for over 25 years. 

Men’s Retreat. For the past 3 years a group of men have assembled for regular Men’s retreat in January.  In 2023 we attending the Speaking The Truth in Love conference in Houston.  The conference’s theme is ‘One Ambition‘. Christ calls us to be the world’s salt and light, and to illuminate the darkness by embracing God’s plan for the kind of simplicity that pleases Christ.  The men’s retreat is always good time of learning & deeper fellowship with others at our church.  Past retreats have included the Courageous Churchmen conference in Jupiter, FL.

Men’s Fall Pig Roast.  The men from time to time will gather for a special time of praise, fellowship, a devotional, and a whole lot of food.  All ages are welcome. Watch the announcements at church in the fall for more information.

The Men’s Sunrise Service at Family Camp.  During the annual fall family camp we enjoy gathering together as men for a special time of praise, fellowship, and teaching.  

Service opportunities. We serve the families of our church by helping in special opportunities throughout the year.  Please join the church’s email list or join our private Facebook group to stay aware of the opportunities.
