Men's Ministry
Men’s ministry is starting back up for the fall with the resumption of the monthly men’s gatherings on the third Thursday of every month.

Justin Heekin will be hosting the October gathering at his house at 6:00pm on Thursday, October 16th. Email Elliot Makuh for the address.

Also, men’s ministry is kicking off a men's prayer morning. Prayer has been on my heart in this season and I want to encourage us as men to grow in our prayer life. We’ll be meeting on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 6:00am to pray and fellowship. Coffee will be provided!
