Groups for Men
| Study | Description and Leadership |
|---|---|
| Philippians | The book of Philippians challenges Christians to remember their true identity as citizens of God's kingdom, especially when faced with difficult circumstances and painful trials. As they remember who God had declared them to be, even in the most difficult of situations, Christians can find, sometimes surprisingly, deep and lasting joy in Christ. Discipleship Council Contact: Logan Miller D-Group Leaders: Hazen Swenson, Allen Feavel, Ean Sexton, Corban Lawson, Jacob Strong, Patrick McClain, Wyatt Rucker, Zachery Craig, Jacob Carlson, John Redford |
| Ephesians | The book of Ephesians is a source of great encouragement to the church, proclaiming the mystery of the gospel and the supremacy of Jesus as Lord over all powers. Made alive in Christ, believers have received a bountiful inheritance from God that motivates them to live for him today. Discipleship Council Contact: Caleb Gates D-Group Leaders: Caleb Knudson, Brandon Hurley, Eli Clark, Jacob Davis, Elliot Janis, Casson Fletcher, Gabriel Payne, Joshua Baratka, Samuel Clark, Micah Bell |
| Made for Friendship | “Friendship is one of the deepest pleasures of life. But in our busy, fast-paced, mobile world, we’ve lost this rich view of friendship and instead settled for shallow acquaintances. Pastor Drew Hunter explores God’s design for friendship and what it really looks like in practice — giving us practical advice to cultivate the kinds of true friendship that lead to true and life-giving joy.” Discipleship Council Contact: Matt Shiel D-Group Leaders: Samuel Madison, Jacob LaBoy, Ben Spacek, Anderson Levasseur, Mickey Neal, Josh Kenniv, Kade Rowley, Payton Snyder, Sam Barber, Matt Paris |
| God is the Gospel | “This book is a plea that God himself, as revealed most clearly and fully in Jesus’s death and resurrection, be seen and enjoyed as the final and greatest gift of the gospel. Readers will be confronted with the reality that this is the love of God: doing everything necessary, most painfully in the death of his Son, to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durable satisfying — namely, himself.” Discipleship Council Contact: Landon Heft D-Group Leaders: Jack Boesch, Alex Purrington, Sam Copland, Isaiah Marvin, Azarian Bennett, Coda McMullen, Caleb Steppey, Nate Mowery, Simeon Kornegay, Noah Harvey |
| Deeper | “In this book, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.” Discipleship Council Contact: Will Galkin D-Group Leaders: Caleb Lichtenberger, Blaine Ritzler, Nathan Freeman, Eric Reiff, Cameron Abney, Owen Bozworth, Kian Swartz, Luke Peel, Aaron Waters, Gabriel Southwell |
