Men's Ministry

Men's Ministry (Band of Brothers)

Men's Ministry is excited to be able to provide multiple opportunities for the Men & Boys of BBC and our surrounding community.  

Barcroft Mission: To Proclaim Jesus to the nations through Up-Reach, In-Reach, and Out-Reach

Men’s Ministry Vision: To be a Ministry TO the Men of BBC - - Equipping Men to Serve by:

  • Strengthening Our Faith with Men - Only Bible Studies
  • Building Leadership Skills that we can apply in our lives and our families
  • Growing Unbreakable Bonds with other Christian Men
  • Learning “Manly Skills” with our peers & sons
  • Providing an Opportunity to invite other men to join us

Our Structure:

  1. Corporate Fellowship, 2nd Saturday of Each Month.  Each month we plan to meet for Fellowship and Edification.  These events will be a combination of Men's Breakfasts, Sports Events, and an annual Men's Retreat.
  2. Small Groups.   Our goal is that every man should have "a Barnabas" to walk beside, "a Timothy" to mentor, and "a Paul" to be mentored by.   Men's Ministry will facilitate these opportunities for interested men to meet as desired in a combination of weekly breakfasts, lunchtime discussions, and work-place Bible Studies. 
  3. Bible Studies.  We will offer two Bible Study courses in 2012, both aimed at studying the roles of Men in Biblical Leadership.  Starting in February, 2012 we will offer a weekly Bible Study on Wednesday nights, and a monthly Bible Study on Sunday evenings. 
  4. Manly Skills.  This fellowship opportunity is geared towards relationship building and outreach opportunities while DOING, and by DOING things that Men enjoy.    Specifically, we will offer periodic classes on subjects from Auto Repair to Small Arms Safety Certification to Lawn Mower Repair to Electrical Repair to Small Construction Projects.... 
  5. Outreach and Service.   BBC Men's Ministry supports multiple outreach opportunities at BBC.  Foremost among these are Faithful Hands Ministry (to Widows and Orphans of the Church), and 2-20 Ministry (providing clothing and support to day laborers).
