Men's Ministry
"The role of men in our church is vital. Our community needs men to be committed to the purpose God has called them. The Men’s Ministry is centered around this one thing; becoming a disciple. When we become a disciple, all the other nuances of church happen authentically. My heart as the Men’s Pastor is to build a brotherhood of disciples; a brotherhood that loves God, loves their families, and serves in the mission of the church. It’s time to come out of our hiding places and onto the battlefield!"
— Pastor Chad

Men’s Retreat is an opportunity to get away from the norm and seek God on the mountain. Mountains in scripture are significant, often symbolizing intense encounters with God. We have room for 50 guys wanting to go after God in a deeper way.
This years theme is “Revealed” which comes from 1 Cor.2:9-10: “However, as it is written: “what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”-the things God has prepared for those who love him- v.10 these are the things God has REVEALED to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

Journey Groups for Men
Community is important. Christianity was never meant to be practiced alone. We learn better, feel better, and love better when we have a healthy community around us. Join one of the men’s groups and develop a few authentic relationships that will spur you on in your faith.
Men's Discipleship
This men’s group is a place where men can grow in their faith, build relationships with other men, and become the leaders that God has called them to be. Our study will always be from a book of the Bible.
This group is committed to helping men become more Christ-like in their thoughts, words, and actions, and to making a positive impact in their families, workplaces, and communities.
Men's Bible Study
This Men’s Bible study meets every Thursday at 630pm at Koinonia Church in the Learning Center building – Room 203.
Meets weekly on Thursdays from 6:30-8pm

Proverbs Young Men's Study
This Bible study is designed for single young men aged 18-30. We will dive into the book of Proverbs and learn how to interact with the Scripture and build a daily habit of reading and absorbing God’s Word.
We meet for one hour, 7-8am, on Wednesday mornings with generous breaks around Christmas and other holiday seasons.
The Garage

The Heart Behind Men's Ministry
From The Cave To The Battle
Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bond-slaves of God. Honor all people,
love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
2 Peter 2:16-17 (NASB)
