MEN
VISION
Men’s Ministry exists to equip men to Follow Jesus and Be His Presence by discovering who they are in Christ and to focus on God’s plan for their lives.
Men find ongoing support and accountability through small groups, mentoring, and several major events throughout the year. Relationships are key to our growing into more fully devoted followers of Christ.

Men's Core Groups
The group decides what days and times work best for them
For info contact Ben Steele
A Core Group is a smaller group - 3-4 guys who meet regularly. The meeting time and location is flexible to the group - some of our groups meet for breakfast, coffee, or going on hikes. This format is designed for a more dedicated opportunity for relationship building and conversation.
Men's Prayer Group
Tuesday Mornings
7AM - 8:30PM

Men of all ages meet in Fireside Hall at Hessel Church for prayer and devotional, and fellowship.
Pure Desire
Recovery Group
Tuesday Evenings
7PM - 9PM
Sebastopol Campus
French Hall
Pure Desire is a group to support men in their recovery by providing a safe, confidential place to process their life story. We believe that healing happens best when we are with a community of people who are on the journey with us. Sexual addiction isolates and separates us from one another. Pure Desire believes men can find hope and healing as they learn to tell their whole story and recognize the impact it has had on their behavior.
