Why Men's Connection?
Building brotherhood one friendship at a time
“This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
— Luke 15:2 NIVMany men walk into church looking for more than information. They are looking for connection, friendship, acceptance, and belonging. This ministry is not intended to replace Bible studies, discipleship groups, or men's conferences. Instead, it fills a different but critically important role.
“Do you realize that often times people come here for the first time they're not looking for theology. They're looking for family. They're looking for relationship. They're looking for connection. They're looking for acceptance. They're looking for a hug. They're looking for a handshake. They're looking for love.”— Senior Pastor Bob Ingle, June 2021
“We're a church. We're a family. But we don't know a lot of our family. How do we mix and how do we get people together and how do we form bonds.”
“Some of us don't need to read our Bible more, we just need to do our Bible more.”
— Senior Pastor Bob Ingle, October 2023Our Core Principles

What to Expect
Wednesday Evenings • 6:30 – 8:00 PM
Food & Fellowship
The last Wednesday of each month, we skip the regular format and focus on food and fun. Sometimes we bring food in, sometimes we head to a local restaurant — it's all about spending time together in a more casual setting.
This gathering is not intended to replace regular worship services. Men's Connection is an additional relationship-building opportunity alongside your regular worship participation.
