Mens Ministry

Min. Terrance Bell, Men's Ministry Coordinator

“…your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” (Acts 2:17) The “IRON MAN” Men’s Ministry is comprised of individuals who come together each month to fellowship, pray, and serve*. This unique gathering is an opportunity for men to explore together their roles within the family, all aspects of relationship, the workplace, their creative endeavors, and the community. Through open-minded discussions, group service projects within and beyond the Agape community, a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment arises enhancing lives and contributing to good of all.

THEME: "Rise Up, O Men of God"

SCRIPTURE: "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love." (1 Cor 16:13-14)
