Brothers In Arms
I will surrender my all to God – no matter the cost – so that I can become more like Jesus Christ – my brother and King. I will seek out a band of brothers, for whose lives and legacies I will fight, so that together we can fulfill our mission to know, love and glorify God our Father.
At St. Charles River Church we understand the role man has in serving his family and the church. We hold strongly to this belief and are committed to providing a men’s ministry that meets a man’s spiritual needs. The SCRC Men’s Group pledges to provide tools for enriching your walk with God. We also recognize the importance of men forming bonds, allowing us to stand arm in arm in battle against the Enemy. To build those relationships, we provide opportunities for men to make genuine connections with one another. This is done by organizing various activities that not only allow us to have a little fun, but also provides a chance for men to get to know each other in a friendly environment.
For more information, please visit our official Brothers In Arms site. There you will find a calendar of events and more information on coming activities and studies. If you have any questions please reach out to Pastor Barry Ivie via email, barry@stcharlesriverchurch.com, and you will have your questions answered.
