The Men's Life department of VCC is committed to partnering with the Holy Spirit to see men built up in their relationship with Christ and others, give tools to live and serve well, and send out to do the words and works of Jesus (Doin' the Stuff). At the heart of this ministry is a desire to call men into discipleship by following Jesus and being transformed by Him. We believe Jesus wants to be a part of every area in a man's life, and He desires that they experience His life pouring through them as they work, play, love, and live. Because no man is an island, we are committed to discipleship that takes place within the context of relationships.
Small Groups
Our small groups provide a place for men to be encouraged and built up in their faith, while building deep and meaningful relationships with other men. With so many competing demands for a man's time and attention, it is important to cultivate a place of refuge from the storm so men can recharge and refocus. These groups are one avenue for men to build foundational relationships with Christ and one another, sharing their life experiences, and ministering to each other. These groups also provide a venue for the power and presence of the Holy Spirit to come while addressing issues that men face in today's society. We also recognize that many men are more comfortable relating "shoulder to shoulder" rather than face to face, therefore, we envision many of these groups as a launching pad for serving and impacting the world around them.
Men's groups meet during morning or evening hours. There is usually a time for conversation, Bible study, prayer and worship. For more information about Men's groups, contact Corey Garris, 614.259.5255 or Corey.Garris@vineyardcolumbus.org.
