Men's Ministry
Purpose of Men's Ministry
The purpose of the Men's Ministry at Lake City Church is expressed in Colossians 1:28:
| "That we may present every man complete in Christ." |
What does it mean to be "complete in Christ" as a man?
As men,
we play many important roles, which involve many relationships such as
husbands, fathers, providers, spiritual leaders of our homes,
co-workers, etc. These relationships can only fulfill their potential
as we become more Christ-like in our attitudes and actions.
To
accomplish the purpose of being made "complete in Christ," we believe
that it is necessary to provide opportunities for men to interact with
one another, both on a social basis and also on a spiritual basis.
In Proverbs 27:17 we are told, "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
Spiritually
Small
groups of men are regularly being established. Their primary purpose is
to help men grow in their relationship with God. A natural result of
this is spiritually stronger men, husbands, fathers, families and
churches. Also, a small group setting and experiences facilitates solid
and deeper friendships with other men.
The
Men's Ministry of Lake City Church has in the past several years and
will continue in the future years to participate in large men's
gatherings involving Promise Keeper events, men's retreats, seminars
and worship gatherings.
Socially
The
men of Lake City Church find available many activities designed for fun
and friendship. Softball, basketball, camping trips, fishing
expeditions are just a few of the many activities to check out.
