| "… As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another…" Proverbs 27:17
The First Presbyterian Church Men’s Ministry
falls under the title of "Common Thread" with the idea being that while men's lives are very busy with family work, and activities, we all share one common thread: to grow in love and likeness to Jesus Christ.
VISION:
The "Common Thread" that unites us all is Jesus Christ and our desire to grow in our knowledge and practice of His disciplines, so that His love and His grace are most prevalent in our homes.
MISSION:
As disciples of Jesus Christ we desire to grow by studying Jesus Christ…to be held accountable by other Christ-like men…to be pruned so that we are becoming the men God wants us to be…so we are able to lead our families as God intends.
GROWTH AND TRAINING:
Common Thread offers events to stimulate growth and training including
- Promise Keeper events
- Weekend Seminars
- Banquets and Festivals
- Wednesday Advantage Classes
Common Thread offers small groups to teach and answer questions, and for accountablity.
Common Thread will offer opportunities for fun and fellowship to build common bonds among men of the Church and their families.
GOAL:
Our goal is to point men toward Jesus so that we are better equipped and trained to be the spiritual leaders of our families.
FOR RETIRED MEN
Retired men of the church and community are invited to a luncheon meeting the first and third Thursdays of each month at Coffee Underground from 12:00-1:15pm. Our meetings center around the topic of retirement and how it affects our lives. Come for great food and fellowship as well! Call Charlotte Joye at 864-672-0309 to reserve a spot.
We've been privileged to have Jack Hansen, co-author of the book, Shaping A Life of Significance For Retirement, as our guest speaker. |
