The Saturday Morning Men's Book Study at FMCM is a small group of men (age ranging from 35 to 60) who select a book (approximately a book a month 6 weeks) to read (or listen), recap, and discuss. They meet in Building A Saturday mornings from 8:00 -9:30 AM as well as offsite.

This group of men was brought together out of two shared interests; the love of God and the pursuit of growing in their faith, and secondly the love of learning and studying. Although all have Christian content, the books have ranged from biographies and history to leadership and Bible commentary.

All you need is to grab the current book we are studying, bring a good cup of coffee, and dive in with your thoughts and learnings. We share, pray for one another, and mostly have fun learning all we can about how to be better men, husbands, fathers, and followers of Christ.
