Men’s Ministry
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16
What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2
Watch, stand firm in your faith, behave like a man, be strong, and let everything be done in love. 1 Cor 16:13-14

You will notice a theme in our Men’s Ministry as seen in our current logo, the Phalanx. This tight, rectangular, overlapping military formation was used by the ancient Greeks, including the Spartans. It involved a block of heavily armed infantry standing shoulder to shoulder, with each man standing close enough to the next to partially protect him with his shield. The phalanx would advance in lockstep, marching to the same call. When they came into contact with the enemy, they would strike outward with their spears while the front line pushed forward with their shields. The phalanx was one of the most effective and enduring military formations in ancient warfare.
We want the men of our church to march to the call of our King, Jesus Christ, and stand so close to one another that our shields overlap to guard the left and right shoulders of our brothers, their sons and daughters, their families, against the strategies of the enemy.
