About Us
We believe that men were created "to love God and enjoy Him
forever." God created men to live in community with one
another as the means of experiencing and developing faith,
hope and love for one another and for God. This is reflected
in Jesus' command to "Love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with
all your strength." and "Love your neighbor as yourself."
(Mark 12:30, 31) We believe it is only when men are
challenged, encouraged, supported, and empowered to use the
gifts God has uniquely given each one, that a man will find
the courage and strength that it takes to live powerfully and
passionately for Christ. Iron Men exists solely for the
purpose of seeing God's work in each man's life fulfilled.
IRON MEN Ministry Teams
Body Building
(Discipleship)
Vision: That each man will live in a discipling
relationship that both gleans wisdom from those who have
gone before and provides a trail for others to follow.
Purpose: Men need men for encouragement, support,
accountability and direction. In this division of Iron Men,
relation ships will provide opportunities for men to develop
their spiritual muscles as they live openly with each other
before the Lord.
Mission Possible
Vision: That men will experience the Great
Commission ("Go into all the world with the Good News of
God's glorious Gospel") as a personal reality through
opportunities to be involved in practical outreach to lost
and hurting people.
Purpose: Men need involvement in the lives of
those who are seeking truth. This division of Iron Men will
identify practical projects both locally and in foreign
fields where everyday gifts can be transformed to reach
others for Jesus Christ.
The A Team
Vision: That men will experience the joy of
serving others in the community in practical ways using the
God-given gifts and abilities with which they have been
entrusted as stewards.
Purpose: The church of Jesus Christ is a body.
Each member of the church is a part of this body, and each
must do its part to keep the whole body functioning
properly. This division will provide opportunities for men
to practically use their gifts to help others in need within
the body and community.
Gone Fishin'
(Evangelism)
Vision: That men will be trained and empowered to
"always be ready to give an answer for the hope that is
within" them.
Purpose: Men need to be able to share their hearts
for Christ with others. Most however, get sidetracked in
trying to figure out the right language or approach to
introducing the love they have for their Savior with
another. These men will train and provide opportunities for
men to put their new-found skill to work in furthering the
communication of the Good News of Jesus Christ to others.
OLF (Outdoor Life Fellowship)
Vision: That men will experience fun and
fellowship with one another and that this fellowship will
lead to a fuller understanding of the joy that is discovered
in relationship with Jesus Christ.
Purpose: Men by nature find common ground in
activities, hobbies, or interests shared between them. These
men will provide fun and exciting events for men to enjoy
each other while experiencing the development of deeper
bonds with one another.
