The Men’s Ministries of First Church, as all ministries should be, are based on the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. The ministries’ purpose is to help provide the tools to bring each man to a passion for God and be a man after God's own heart.


In all of our venues—Bible study, prayer breakfast, prayer wall, speaker meetings, workdays, fellowship, conferences—we emphasize the vertical connection between us and God and the horizontal connection between each other and between us and the church community (as a whole and in small groups). Thus, the completion of the cross.


As men become comfortable in their relationship with Christ and more mature in their faith, our hope is that they will take on church leadership positions using the spiritual gifts God has given them, and that they would lead courageously. The Church—and our world—want and need more “Lion of Judah” men.

Men's Ministry Committee: Paul Marks, Greg Cooke, Anton Hertle, Scott Singerman, and Junior Urena

Men's Outing

Join us for a kayaking/canoeing trip on beautiful Bolton Lake, followed by a cheeseburger lunch at nearby Shady Glen. The outing is scheduled for Saturday, September 27th. We’ll meet in the church parking lot at 8:30 AM and make the 25-minute drive to Lower Bolton Lake in time to be on the water by 9:30 AM. We have extra boats available, and beginners are welcome. Let us know if you want to come and will need a boat – or if you have an extra kayak or canoe (with paddles) that someone else can use. Non-paddlers can join our group for lunch at 12:30 PM at Shady Glen, the fun hamburger and milk shake joint at 840 East Middle Tpke. in Manchester. This is a great activity for fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, and accompanied boys age 12 or older!
