My Father’s Workshop

Crosstown

Wednesday at 6:36 PM

So many men are left to figure it all out on their own. It? Life, marriage, identity, purpose, parenting, house stuff, faith, finances, all of it. There are lots of helpful classes, books, and other resources and many are excellent. And, of course, there's YouTube. But sometimes we just need other men to walk alongside us, listen, build us up, and share life. We will be in the wood shop, the kitchen, and at the fire pit. We will create, cook, eat, listen, learn, pray, share our stories. Special speakers will be invited for certain topics. Geared especially for men in 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. (Initially set for 10 weeks, but let's see where God takes us!)

The Promise Principle | Stephen Deuth

Eagan

Tuesday at 6:30 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at any time" 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 Small Groups. 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.
