As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
The Bible promises that God will be with us throughout our lives. Maple Grove Evangelical Free Church offers significant times for men to see God's hand of grace, mercy, and provision in their lives. God's "withness" in new and profound ways. In John 15:5, Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." Take the opportunity to draw near to the Lord. Challenge yourself to plug into some venue of ministry for and with your brothers in Christ.
Men's Fraternity: The Quest for Authentic Manhood
Men's Fraternity helps men understand their masculine identity and shows them how to make the pursuit of authentic manhood a life-long priority that is incorporated into the fabric of their everyday lives. "The Quest for Authentic Manhood" offers a clear definition of what a man is and challenges each man to develop his own personalized manhood plan. The impact of this is not only felt in the lives of men, but also in families, in the workplace and even the church. Men's Fraternity is about discovering your strengths and weaknesses, strengthening your relationships and making new ones.
