Men’s Ministry
One of our core convictions at Grace Rancho is that we will train men to be shepherding leaders. Men are called to be the primary leaders in the church and in the home (1 Tim. 3:1-7, Eph. 5:25-33). Their leadership is not to be tyrannical or domineering, but sacrificial, gentle, humble, and strong (1 Pet 5:1-5). A frequent image in Scripture for a leader in Scripture is one of a shepherd (Ps. 23:1, 1 Chron. 11:2, Jer. 23:4, Jn. 10:11, Eph. 4:11, 1 Pet. 5:2). We want our men to be trained and equipped as shepherding leaders who care for others.
We aim to equip men through the following avenues:
One-On-One Discipleship
Ministry is first and foremost people work. That’s why most of the ministry the church does isn’t through programs but through biblical relationships that aim to help others follow Jesus. If you are interested in being discipled, whether through a formal process like Equipping Matters, or informally as you study Scripture with another believer, contact us so we can help you plug in.
2025 Men’s Conference (Sept. 19-20) — Raising Men, Not Boys
What does it look like for the men of the church to raise up the next generation? Join us as we consider how the Gospel impacts biblical masculinity and we cover topics such as: responsibility, work ethic, purity, dating, and technology. There’ll be helpful Q&A’s, practical teaching, good food, and some fun!
Cost: $25 / household. Register early for a discount! Ages Jr. High and older are welcome.
Men’s Equipping Group
Meets once a month on Saturday mornings from September-June with the goal of equipping men to develop biblical character, conviction, and competency. We ask men to commit for the full “year” (September-June) of meetings. Men meet in small groups for an hour and spend the second hour being taught. Our focus for this year will be Church Health 101, thinking through what a faithful church with faithful members looks like. Sign up below!
