Men’s Bible Study | Ryan Carlson & Jesse Richards

Eagan

Thursday at 6:30 AM • Virtual

Have you been wanting to go deeper in God's Word? Then join us as we gather weekly with other men from Eagan campus to read & study the Bible together. We'll be moving through different books of the Bible, chapter by chapter. The heart of this study is to look at the context of the passage and make observations (What does it say?), Interpretations (What does it mean?), and Applications (How does God want me to apply this in my life?). Whether you're a new believer or have been walking with Jesus most your life, this group will be beneficial for you! You'll be encouraged to study the chapter beforehand and come with questions of your own to discuss. We're meeting virtually Thursday mornings 6:30-7:30am. You can even join the call from work before you clock in.

MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Kyle Schlesser

Apple Valley

Wednesday at 6:00 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands. Click here to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan: We meet at Dunn Brothers Coffee, 16106 Pilot Knob Rd Suite 110, Lakeville, MN 55044, next to Hy-Vee.

Crosstown

Sunday at 4:00 PM

Join a vibrant community where we blend our hobbies with Bible study to create a unique space for healing and connection. This group is especially meaningful for those of us from Africa, as we come together to explore the Bible while engaging in activities we love. Think of it as a "Speak Out" therapy group where we use both our faith and interests to address stress, trauma, and anxiety. Our aim is to foster unity within the African community while also welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds. This group provides a chance to deepen your relationship with Christ Jesus and expand your understanding of African culture, all while building connections with people from various walks of life. Everyone is invited to join and share in this enriching experience.

Meals Ministry

Apple Valley

This group is for those who wish to bless others by making a meal. When a family is facing a challenging situation (whether a new baby, health diagnosis, emergency, etc.) and could use some support, my desire is to help provide some meals. When a need arises, I will create a meal train schedule & send it out to all members. You do not need to participate for every need - you can choose what works for you! My goal is to grow the group to easily provide for any need without relying too heavily on any member. This is not a typical small group & will not be meeting together.
