Local Community Outreach

Our group sets up local outreach opportunities to reach the lost in our community. Whether we are serving with a local ECC ministry partner or engaging in service projects, treasure hunts, or street evangelism we’re just looking to love and share the gospel with those around us. We will set up outreaches once every quarter (spring, summer, fall, and winter). The day, time, and location will vary based on what we are doing for that specific time. All ages are welcome to join on any outreach we offer! We are families with young kids. By joining this group you are not committed to every outreach, but this group gives us a way to send you the information about our outreaches. We are expectant to see how the Lord will move and use us.

• Quarterly Meetings - The day, time, and location will vary based on what we are doing for that specific quarter.

Men Of Valor

Join us as we journey together to understand and manage our thoughts through the wisdom of God's word. Guided by Proverbs 23:7 and 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, we'll support each other in recognizing and addressing non-Holy Spirit thoughts by responding with scripture, just as Jesus did. Together, we'll strengthen our fellowship and grow spiritually, deepening our faith and connection with one another.
