Brothers,

Each of you, in varying capacities, have been called by God to be leaders in your home, family, workplace. For quite a while now I have desired to start a regular men's ministry to help the men of our church grow in their faith, doctrine, devotion, holiness, and overall maturity in Christ. We cannot be the Christians, husbands, fathers, or church members which God has called us to be without such growth.

Starting in February of 2022 (Lord willing) I plan to begin a weekly men's ministry which will be meeting on Friday mornings over coffee at Covenant Grace. We will be studying the Westminster Confession of Faith (a historic summary of true Christian doctrine) together in a discussion format, using a very helpful book on the Confession called, "Confessing the Faith" by Chad Van Dixhoorn, (available here).

Manageable-sized weekly readings will be assigned and when we gather, folks will be expected to have read and reflected upon the material, searched out applicable Scripture references, and have given enough thought to the content as to be able to participate in and contribute to a group discussion which I will facilitate. I will not be doing any formal teaching during this time, but rather helping lead a group discussion in which we can sharpen one another in the faith.

Those who participate will be expected to be consistent in their participation. Obviously we will all miss weeks, myself included. But those who sign up are asked to make this a priority and give a real investment to the group. This is not a hand-holding ministry, but a ministry for helping men of God truly be men of God in every aspect of their lives. This sentiment is drawn from the words of Holy Scripture which read:

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong," (I Cor. 16:13).

As I consider the best time to host this ministry, I wanted to reach out to the men of our church to get some feedback. Below is a brief (2 question) survey.

Please take a moment to respond so that I can make a final determination soon as we prepare to launch this important ministry.

P.S. Additional men's ministry opportunities will also be planned such as breakfasts, fellowship outings, and perhaps an annual retreat at some point. We have a desire to grow a thriving men's ministry but need more spiritually mature men to help take leadership over these things. Please join us in prayer for God to help this become a ministry of great encouragement and strength for the men of our church, as well as a training ground for God-honoring husbands, fathers, and churchmen.

Resting in Christ,

Pastor Tom
