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.

Everyone knows "it takes a village" when it comes to raising kids, and our newest group "The Village" is here to help you do just that. Each month The Village will feature a program that will highlight a particular challenge as it relates to parenting, mentoring, leading, and/or teaching children, and help you find ways to respond to those challenges in a practical and loving way.

The Village is intended for all types of caregivers as we all play a role in raising the children in our community! The goal is for everyone to have the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and resources, while also making connections with other parents, grandparents, youth leaders, and teachers who are likely experiencing many of the same challenges when it comes to raising our children. We want to create a space where everyone can learn, share, laugh, cry, support and connect…after all, isn't that what a village is for?

We will Offer this wonderful group in two sessions per month. One will be the last Tuesday of each month in the morning with the second on the last Thursday of each month in the evening to give everyone an opportunity to attend.
