O man of God...pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
(1 Timothy 6:11)
The Men’s Ministry at Christ Church serves to equip men for the high calling of following the Lord Jesus Christ, leading their families, and ministry in the Church. We seek to do this first and foremost by grounding men in the Word of God, which is the foundation for all of life. Another critical component is building a sense of camaraderie among men, a community where they can encourage one another and hold each other accountable. A third important aspect of Men’s Ministry is to remind men that they are called to be like the Lord Jesus Christ in their actions, both in the family and in the community. Men are called to be like Jesus in His offices: prophet, priest, and king. In this, men are prophets in their homes when they teach the Bible; priests as they lift up their family to the Lord in prayer; and kings as they protect and defend their family. In all of this, men must look to their own great Savior – Jesus Christ.
Men’s Breakfast
On select Saturday mornings (please check our calendar), our men participate in a fellowship breakfast at 8:00 AM. The focus of our breakfast is on fellowship and building relationships, along with a brief testimony or devotional. We invite you to get to know Christ Church’s men, talk about college football, share prayer requests, and be encouraged from the Bible. To find out more, please contact the Christ Church office.
Men’s Retreat
As we have in past years, the men of Christ Church will join the men of Christ Presbyterian Church (formerly CEPC) for their annual men’s retreat on February 7-8, 2025. The retreat will be held at Camp Blessing (7227 Camp Blessing Ln, Brenham, TX 77833) and the topic is "A Man Of The Word" with studies in Psalm 119. The speaker is Jonathan Master, President of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Dr. Master served in pastoral ministry in several congregations in Maryland and Pennsylvania, and subsequently as Dean and Professor of Theology at Cairn University near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has taught for numerous other institutions including Westminster Seminary (UK) and Edinburgh Theological Seminary.
