Fellowship Men

Making disciples starts with the pursuit of relationships, not just participation in programs. Relationships are cultivated through various groups and flourish while pursuing authentic community and growing in the knowledge and application of God’s Word.

Summer Study

Beginning June 2
8 Sessions on Mondays

This summer, gather around the table with others for an intentional and enriching study through the book of Colossians. Over the course of these 9 weeks, we’ll explore, consider, contemplate, and seek to implement the powerful truths found in Paul’s letter — truths that call us to live with Christ at the center and to examine our lives honestly and let the Holy Spirit shape our character.

Together, we’ll walk through a printed guide, opening space for honest conversation, personal reflection, and practical application. Our time will be anchored by two shared meals, giving us a chance to connect deeper in fellowship and friendship.

Come ready to listen, to learn, and to grow — not just in knowledge, but in how we live out the Gospel in our everyday lives. Registration opens May 4. Cost is $10.

Registration Opens May 4

Men's Groups

Our groups give men an opportunity to build biblical friendships with other men as well as grapple with biblical answers to life’s challenges. Be a part of this growing group of men as we devote ourselves to Jesus and each other, enjoy God’s presence in our lives, endeavor to love each other well, and learn what it means to lead out in grace and truth in Jesus’ name.

See below for all our Men's Groups.

Woodsmen Ministry

The Woodsmen Ministry is an outdoor-based small group ministry across the southeast. These are places for men to connect through a shared interest such as fishing, golf, basketball, disc golf, and more. For many men, the outdoors is a safe place to spend time with others and find rest. Through Woodsmen, we’ll create spaces for men to find friendships, have fun doing something they’re passionate about, and encounter God’s love.
