Men’s Small Groups
Weekday Mornings
Marriage, children, work, home, faith … the challenges abound. In today’s world it’s tough to be who God has called us to be. How do we follow Him and lead others? How do we balance the demands at work with the responsibilities at home? How do we love our wives like Christ loved the Church?
God did not intend for you to discover the answer to these and all the other important life questions by yourself. You were created to live in community with other men who are wrestling with the same issues, and who desire to live godly lives that count for God, but have not yet “put it all together.”
Come join other men who meet here at the church on most weekday mornings to study Scripture and to apply it to real life. Share your life with other men who will help you see Scripture more clearly and who will help you sharpen your focus on Christ.

The Path: Men’s Mentoring
According to many books on the subject, one of the biggest forms of discouragement for Appalachian Trail hikers is loneliness. Loneliness takes the joy of the journey’s experiences away. Loneliness robs hikers of encouragement they need to get over rough terrain and through difficult footing. Loneliness also makes rest a bit shallower and more evasive. The same is true in a man’s journey to Christlikeness. Many times we start out strong with the full intention of finishing well but quit when we don’t find needed guidance and encouragement.
What is blocking you on your journey? Increased responsibilities? Lack of focus? Unfamiliarity with the terrain? Is your pace slowing or made with heavier steps?
The Path connects men in a long-term, one-to-one mentoring relationship. We’ll connect you with a mentor who is committed to walk with you for as long as you want. Along the way you’ll pick up great biblical advice and make a friend.

Next Generation: Small Group Mentoring
Next Generation – Small Group Mentoring is one of the men’s mentoring tracks at Apostles and is built around the following core elements: The key figure that drives the experience is a middle-aged mentor who is a person of a mature spiritual stature, a leader in the business world, and a man passionate about investing his life into younger men who are hungry to grow. He meets with a small group of six to eight younger men for an evening monthly meeting which lasts approximately three hours. The small group comes together to discuss the content of an assigned book that is relevant to the growth and development of the young men. The group interacts around the application and integration of the content of the assigned book into the lives of each participant. The books cover topics like life purpose, fathering, priority setting, marriage excellence, spiritual warfare, decision-making, and many more.
Other meaningful exercises and disciplines, as well as a weekend retreat, are woven together into the year-long experience, all of which make the time spent practical, integrative, and relevant to the nurture and development of young men as godly leaders. The men who have gone through this have found it to be life-impacting on themselves, their marriages, their families, and their professional lives. So far, not one man out of the hundreds who have completed the program here and at other churches has gone through a divorce.
