The vision of Ministry to Men at EFCCL is to glorify God by seeing all men become growing and reproducing disciples—men who are saved through Christ, becoming spiritually mature in Him, and actively fulfilling their life purpose in serving Him.
Our MEANS of doing this is by:
1. Helping men to know, understand, and grow in the spiritual disciplines and their spiritual gifts.
2. Building authentic, transparent, accountable, and loving relationships with other men.
3. Mentoring and investing in the spiritual growth of our own families and other men.
The next Men’s Breakfast:
2024 Dates: May 4, July 20 and October 5
All men are invited to join us on a Saturday morning from 7 - 9 am in the Activity Center.
It’s a new year, with a new theme, but still a great breakfast! Men’s Breakfasts this year—which are always free, and always stocked with bacon—will explore the five “Solas” of the reformation. While different theology nuances can stir hearty debate, these five simple statements unify us on the heart of the gospel and in the joy of our shared salvation. CLICK HERE to RSVP (HIGHLY recommended to ensure proper food quantities).
Thursday Morning Bible Study:
Current Study: God’s Providence and Christian Living
Thursdays at 6:00 am | Room 211
Question 11 of the Westminster Shorter Catechism asks, “What are God’s works of Providence?” The Answer: God's works of providence are, His most holy, wise, and powerful preserving, and governing all His creatures, and all their actions. While knowing, even believing this truth is extremely important, God’s providence demands our response. Are we receiving His provision, portion and sustenance joyfully? With genuine contentment, gratitude and thankfulness? Without any idolatrous addition?
All men are invited to join us on Thursday mornings (6:00 am in Room 211) as we will explore and learn practical ways in which we can respond to His providence in all aspects and dimensions of our daily lives.
Discipleship Groups (or D-Groups)
Varying days and times
Do you have a desire to grow in your knowledge of God, the Bible, or the Christian life? Would you like for this growth to occur in the context of a relationship with an older/more mature man (see below - Disciple-making Opportunity) and in a way that meets you right where you are?
Have you prayerfully considered Christ’s command to make disciples? As Mark Dever defines it in his little book, Discipling, this is simply “helping another person follow Jesus.” No matter where you are on your Christian walk, there is always a man behind you on that journey who can benefit from your wisdom and experience—even if you don’t think so!
