Men's Ministries

Our Men's Ministries welcome and encourage men of all ages to connect with one another and Christ. We seek to become God-honoring men, not just in church, but in our homes, workplace, and community. We offer a wide range of activities designed to bring men together, from classes and bible studies, sports outings and a softball league, to prayer groups and monthly breakfasts. 

We have numerous opportunities for you to get involved, and encourage you to contact us with questions. You can view the various opportunities below, or send an email Corky Semler and Dustin Anewalt to get started.
The activity in our Training Camp Division is our monthly Saturday morning breakfasts. These are scheduled several times throughout year, generally running from September through November, and January through May. These include a full breakfast, fellowship, hymns, and a guest speaker. Men of all ages are welcome to join us. For more information, contact Corky Semler or Dustin Anewalt.

Saturday Morning Men's Breakfast | Third Saturday of the month | 8:00 AM | Westminster Hall
Our Saturday Morning Breakfasts are scheduled 7 times annually, generally the 3rd Saturday of each of the following months; September, October, November, January, February, March and April. They include a full hot breakfast, fellowship, hymns, and a guest speaker. We have a ‘hard stop’ at 10:00 a.m. Our 8th regularly scheduled event is a Friday evening steak fry on the 3rd Friday of May. Men of all ages are welcome to join us at all our events unless otherwise indicated.

The Men's Prayer Team is designed to pray for the needs in the church. While we do not meet each week, prayer requests are distributed regularly. To join the team or submit a prayer request, contact John O'Master.

 

Jesus trained disciples in two environments: a small group of 12 and larger groups that were open to any one. We have both small and large group classes available as part of our LIFE Group/Teaching Division. They are a great place to learn, get connected, and develop friendships here at Memorial Park. Teams meet regularly and "do life together" as they:

  • study the Bible together;
  • pray for one another;
  • offer mutual encouragement;
  • do an occassional service project together;
  • care for teammates and their households when members are in the hospital or grieving a loss;
  • eat together occasionally with spouses or guests;
  • encourage the children of fellow teammates;
  • enjoy occasional fun outings like a movie night or a sporting event;
  • and more!
For more information or to get involved, contact Geoff Holmes (small groups); or John Christopher or Rick Corliss (large groups).
