Come together as men Friday mornings from 6:30 to 7:30 AM. As iron sharpens iron, we sharpen each other through studying the Bible and discussing how we apply it to our lives today. We'll be running through Paul's journeys in Acts and reading through his letters chronologically. Just bring a Bible!

In this group, you will discover how to move forward to greater freedom in your life, faith, and future by taking a deeper look at your identity in Christ. Group will begin promptly at 6:30pm and end at 8pm each Tuesday September 26 thru November 21.

Marriage

Marriage and Family

Crosstown

Wednesday at 6:30 PM

Building healthy marriages and families is essential for maximizing our potential in Christ. Starting March 1st, a new group will be launching at Crosstown campus that will focus on just that. The Marriage and Family group will meet each Wednesday in the lounge at Crosstown campus, and will have a simple format: Teaching, Testimony, and table discussion with your assigned table and leaders. The group will meet for 6 weeks, and will cover topics like "Healthy communication habits", "Why did God create marriage?", as well as other relevant topics to help strengthen your marriage and family. The goal for this ongoing group is to teach God’s plan for marriage, empower you with the skills to build a thriving marriage, and build relationships with other couples that can support your marriage. This group is being led by Chris and Cait Courneya, and Sam and Rachel Thompson. Childcare is not provided at this time. **Please register BOTH you and your spouse separately.

Men’s Purity

Apple Valley

Monday at 6:30 PM

This group is for men pursuing God and asking Him to equip them with all they need to walk with Him in true freedom, purity, and discipleship. We recommend that you also sign up for a men's Promise Principal group (these groups are centered around discussing a Bible reading plan together) in addition to this group. Currently every Monday we are holding purity introduction studies for new men to the purity ministry (men can drop in at any time to gain perspective of what the purity ministry is and to connect with a leader to begin discipleship now.) Then as men are committed and ready, they will then move through two distinct phases: Purity (9 weeks), and Discipleship (9 Weeks). A higher level of focus and commitment will be required, but the spiritual and relational rewards of fully engaging in this journey together will be worth it!

The Promise Principle | Oliver, Panikkar, Selig, Ronchak

Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:30 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.
