Too many Christian men start enthusiastically, then fall short. Falling short can be a public fall – for example, a high-profile ministry leader gets caught in a sex scandal. But for most men, falling short isn’t a newsworthy spectacle. It’s subtler and closer to home. It’s floundering in the faith, then stunted spiritual growth. It’s entering the race God has called them to with zeal, then choosing to coast. For most men, coasting begins with the absence of discipleship and accountability. Men disconnect themselves from accountability and discipleship, but not long before their faith flounders and their growth flatlines. They fail to disciple and invest in others for fear of being exposed, and they have little to offer. It seems so many men start the race well, but few finish it to win the prize.
For the Christian, the race is not a hundred-meter sprint but a marathon that takes a different kind of discipline and planning. Any marathon athlete has a different pace that takes self-discipline.
Our desire is to see the men at Faith grow through discipleship and study of the Word utilizing Proverbs 27:17 as our guide, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” We do this through weekly Bible studies and monthly fellowship time, diving into the Word. To stay up-to-date on all our various ministries, join the Men’s Ministry group!
Current Ministry Opportunities
Men’s Fellowship Breakfasts— These home-cooked breakfasts take place on the 2nd Saturday of each month at 8:00 am in the Fellowship Hall during the school year. Each month will feature a different speaker, delving into specific areas of a man’s spiritual walk.
**March Fellowship Breakfast is canceled due to the Undivided Conference.
Men’s Wednesday Bible Study—This study is for men who are eager to learn what it means to be men of the Word. This year, they will be studying “The Masculine Mandate—a biblical view of Masculinity and Manhood.” This study takes place from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the Lounge.

Men’s Retreat
In the fall, our Men’s Ministry puts on a retreat to encourage our men in the upcoming year. Past retreats have encouraged our men to establish discipleship relationships (Galatians 6:1-2) and learn what God’s description for Christian men (Genesis 2:15) is. Check our Groups and Events page for upcoming events!
Four-Twelve Challenge
We believe that leaders aren’t necessarily born; they are made. Men are designed to lead in one way or another and often need confidence, purpose, and motivation. Our goal with the Four-Twelve Challenge is to prepare men for action using a classical cohort-based learning method. Check our Groups and Events page for upcoming events!
