Men's Ministries
Men are called by God to be the spiritual leaders in their homes, to
love their wives, and to provide the primary leadership within the
church. This high calling requires men to be passionately committed to
God's Word (2 Tim 2:15), to God's church (1 Peter 5:1-3), to their
families (1 Tim 3:4-5), and to honoring God in their career (Col
3:23,24).
To this end we seek to provide opportunities for men to have
weekly encouragement
in practical Christian living as well as in-depth study
of Bible doctrine and spiritual leadership. Additionally we seek to help
men
cultivate their gifts by serving the church in a variety of
practical ways.
MMMM
Each Monday morning from 6-7 am at Shoney's (on 321 near Target), the
men meet to be encouraged and inspired them to grow deeper in their walk
with the Lord. They are currently reading through the book The God Who
Draws Near by Michael Haykin.
Iron Men - Monday, 6:30 - 7:30 pm
The men work through 10 week modules for in-depth instruction on
Bibliology, Systematic Theology, Hermeneutics/Teaching, and Spiritual
Leadership. There are books to read, a paper to write, quizzes each
week, and a final exam!
No Iron Men module available at this time.
Prison Ministry
On the last Sunday and following Thursday of each month the men meet at
the Blount County Jail to encourage, pray with, and teach God's Word to
the inmates. Each evening we have the privilege of ministering to nearly
150 inmates who are starving to hear God's Word taught with depth and
truth.
Men's Retreat
Each year we hold a retreat to help us grow in our relationship with the
Lord and with one another. These are excellent times of fellowship and
in-depth Bible study.
