A group of men are getting together to study God’s Word and how it applies to our everyday life. We put the coffee pot on, read scripture, and discuss the questions at hand with each other.
We are currently using the Men in Mission Bible that was developed for Bible Study. We have finished the chapter on Attitude Adjustment and are now going over Accountability. As the group grows we will divide up into smaller groups. Our goal is to keep these groups small with about 4 or 5 men in each group. The purpose is to allow each man the opportunity to share within that group. If the group is too big then not everyone will get a chance to share. It is amazing how we have felt the same way or have similar experiences with each other.
Come check us out and begin growing in God’s Word through this experience.
