Men’s Ministry
GOD’S CALLING ON MEN
God calls men to lead His Church. He also calls men to lead their wives and children in the Lord. Because of that, our church takes seriously the call to equip men to know Christ and make Him known in the battlefronts where God has placed them.
Men’s ministry at Graham Emmanuel Baptist Church looks like men getting together to exhort and rebuke each other with the Word of God. It takes place in various formats, all of which are designed to challenge men to be more than just men, but men of God: men like King David, who desire God’s own heart; men like Timothy, who fanned into flame the gift of the Gospel; men like Moses, who protected God’s people; men like Jesus, who washed feet.
MEN’S BREAKFAST
First Saturday of the month, 8-9:30am, Quarterly (Worship Center)
The men’s breakfast happens quarterly in the worship center and exists to bring the men and boys of the entire church together for a time of unity in prayer, singing, and hearing from God’s Word—all over eggs and bacon and black coffe. Speakers range from like-minded pastors in the area, elders at GEBC, or other men of faith in the congregation.
The men’s breakfast is great for bringing sons and grandsons. It is also great for inviting unsaved coworkers and friends who need to hear the Gospel. Cost is free.
MEN’S BIBLE STUDY
Thursdays, 7-8pm (Chapel)
Men are called to be the spiritual leaders of their families. God also calls upon men to teach and lead the local church. Because of that, men must dedicate time in their busy week to study God’s Word deeply with other men. The men’s Bible study is designed to draw men into a deep study of the Bible and its doctrine. The most recently completed study was through Romans 8, taught via video by Dr. Derek Thomas.
The men’s Bible study also provides a chance for male fellowship as iron sharpens iron and men hold each other accountable and pray for each other in the struggles of life. Open to all adult men or mature teenagers who attend the church.
FISHING TRIPS
The Pacific Northwest features some of the most beautiful fishing spots in the world. What better way to get guys together than to get them out fishing! Two major fishing events take place in the year. They are:
Father & Son Fishing Trip
The father and son fishing trip gives men and boys of the church a chance to go out for a special time of fishing and male bonding in God’s creation. Traditionally held at the stunning Cove Resort at Fish Lake. It intends to give dads and father figures the chance to make memories with their sons and for the younger men to be taught by the older men.
Men’s Fishing Retreat
The men’s fishing retreat takes place in the fall at the beautiful Camp Bethel on the Humptulips river, and exists for men to escape from the routine of life and spend some secluded days in God’s creation to fish, enjoy good food, and fellowship with other men around God’s Word.
