Men’s ministry provides ongoing opportunities and events from the golf course to small group gatherings. Providing space for men to process the complex issues of our lives through the lens of a faith centered on the way of Jesus is a priority for our community. We welcome men of all backgrounds and life-stages to join us.

This men’s large group gathering is a great place to connect or reconnect with other men over good food in a casual atmosphere where you might even find a football game on the screen and a friendly game of bags happening in the corner.

Being a part of a 10-week Rooted group requires an investment of your time and commitment to engage in the weekly readings and reflections, participating in group discussions and volunteer initiatives. We recommend Rooted as a great first step to getting involved in small group life. Former Rooted participants have hailed this as one of the best experiences on their faith journey.
Because Rooted is such a unique and immersive experience, we suggest reading through the Rooted: What You Need to Know section below.
