The Saint Matthew Men’s Ministry seeks to involve men in growing in faith and ability to live a Christian life.  It involves study, service, groups, fellowship, outreach and community life.  Breakfasts, dinners, retreats, groups and one on one mentoring are all important.  Partner with other men and learn how Christ calls us to come alongside one another.  The next men’s breakfast is in February.  Watch for details at the Welcome Center.
