Men's Ministries

As men, we face a different challenge in the world and it's nice to be able to get together and talk about different victories, concerns, and difficulties. As we continue to see God do wonderful things in the church, we are also excited about the great things He is doing in our lives as men. If you haven't been to a men's function yet, we encourage you to attend.

 

Some of our events include:

  • Men's Bible Study twice a month at Escalon Youth Center
    (1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month)

  • Day Trips and Men's Seminars

  • Annual Retreat (as possible)

  • Escalon Park Fete Fundraiser (July)

OUR CURRENT MEN'S BIBLE STUDY

~ THE APOSTLES' CREED ~

by matt chandler

The Apostles’ Creed was born from the apostles’ teachings. It contains essential doctrines and beliefs that summarize the gospel and the foundation of our faith. The scriptural truths contained in the creed enable us to build our Christian lives on good theology, with the knowledge that our faith is rooted in truth and a rich history.

The lines of the creed aren’t mere words. They are the essence of what we confess and believe. Repeating the creed doesn’t make disciples. Incantations don’t transform us into better, more effective Christians. Creeds don’t hold any authority apart from Scripture, but they do point outside themselves to the authoritative Word of God.

The Apostles’ Creed was traditionally used as a public confession before baptism. This confession of faith, given as a recitation of the creed, was understood as an act of turning away from previous pagan beliefs and fully accepting apostolic teaching. This profession identified new believers with the community of Christians.

This group study from Matt Chandler and The Village Church leads to greater clarity of our religion, greater symmetry and balance as a disciple, and a more profound sense of belonging in the kingdom of God.
