Men of the Word exists to glorify God by equipping and encouraging men to fulfill their God-ordained roles as leaders in the home, the church, and the world.
This is accomplished by providing biblical instruction, personal discipleship, genuine fellowship, and spiritual accountability through our Men of the Word Bible study which meets weekly on Wednesdays at 7 pm in the Family Center at Grace Church.
This weekly Bible study provides a forum where men of younger faith interact with and receive wisdom from those who are more mature in Christ, and serves to prepare men for more faithful service to the local church and a more effective witness to the world.
No registration is required; all men are welcome to attend.
