Valient Men Groups
Valiant Men groups are discipleship-focused communities where men pursue Christ together, build meaningful relationships, and grow in intentional, everyday faith.
These groups are more than just Bible studies. They are spaces for real conversation, accountability, encouragement, and spiritual growth. Each group is led by different leaders and has its own unique rhythm and focus, but all share the same heart: helping men follow Jesus more closely and live it out daily.
Whether you’re looking to be strengthened in your faith, connect with other men, or simply take a next step, there is a place for you.

Fun Men's Events
Fun Men’s Events provide a relaxed setting where connection happens naturally. Whether gathering around a meal, competing in axe throwing, or enjoying a barbecue night, these moments create space for genuine conversation, laughter, and shared experiences. Open to men of all ages, from junior high and up, these events also create meaningful opportunities for dads and their teenagers to connect and grow together. They help build friendships and open the door to deeper community in a way that feels easy and welcoming. For many, these gatherings become a starting point, leading into stronger relationships marked by encouragement, accountability, and a shared pursuit of Christ.
Discipleship Opportunites
Discipleship often happens in the everyday moments. We encourage men to connect one-on-one or in small groups by grabbing coffee, sitting down to talk and pray, doing something enjoyable together, or serving someone in need. These simple, intentional steps create space for honest conversation, encouragement, and real spiritual growth. Open to men of all ages, these relationships also provide meaningful opportunities for older men to invest in younger men, and for peers to walk alongside one another in faith. It’s not about a formal structure, but a culture that grows naturally out of who we are, where men take initiative, build one another up, and pursue Christ together in everyday life.
Service Opportunites
Service Projects create space for men to serve in practical, hands-on ways. From setting up as part of our Sanctuary Stewards team to working on larger builds, these opportunities allow men to be useful, engaged, and part of something meaningful. Serving together not only meets real needs but also builds friendships and a shared sense of purpose as we care for the church and others.
