Our culture is constantly distorting the role of men in our society. When it seems like the definition of a successful man is constantly changing, it’s time for us to revisit the source of authentic biblical manhood. It’s time to Man Up.
Our goal is to equip and empower men to reclaim their identity as men of God and to impact the world for the cause of Christ.
Our theme this year comes from 1 Timothy 6:11-12: “But you, man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of eternal life to which you were called and about which you have made a good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
The Man of God is known by what he flees from. The Man of God is known by what he pursues. The Man of God is known by what he fights for. The Man of God is known by what he is faithful to. Join us for this years conference!
BE WATCHFUL, STAND FIRM IN THE FAITH, ACT LIKE MEN, BE STRONG, LET ALL YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
PURPOSE OF MEN’S MINISTRY
Our Purpose is to define authentic manhood. In our society, being a man is confusing. There are a number of definitions according to the world’s standards. We will look at the Biblical call to be a real man as one who rejects passivity, accepts responsibility, leads courageously and invests in eternity.
The purpose of the Men’s Ministry at 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?
To be complete in Christ means that we are happy in being a man! We provide for our families. We provide for our family, fight for righteousness sake, have close male friends that encourage us and are faithful to our wife (or keeping ourselves sexually pure before marriage).
In Proverbs 27:17 we are told, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
Strong men build up other strong men.
SPIRITUALLY
Small groups of men are regularly being established. Their primary purpose is to help men grow in their relationship with God and build deep friendships with other godly men. A natural result of this is spiritually stronger men, husbands, fathers, families and churches. Also, a small group setting facilitates solid and deeper friendships with other men. Contact us for more information.
SOCIALLY
The men of Montclair Tabernacle have many activities designed for fun and friendship such as bowling, camping trips and fishing expeditions. It’s OK to have fun! Try it! These are just a few of the many activities to check out.
MONTHLY GATHERING
Montclair Tabernacle Men’s GROWTH group is a wonderful time for men, ages 18+, to fellowship, study the Bible and share in life’s struggles. We currently meet on the last Saturday morning of each month at 8:00 AM. We encourage you to join us a we discuss issues related to men, and encourage one another to be the fathers, husbands, and men that God has called us to be.
