Essential Information
Mission: Small group format of weekly engagement of male fellowship towards awareness in Jesus and ourselves.
Purpose: Short, practical topical studies to deepen understanding of God, Christ, and scripture while leading godly lives in a modern world.
Schedule: Every Tuesday morning from 6:30-7:30 am in the Church Cafe.
Beliefs Basis: Our group's core beliefs are founded on the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church. These are our default positions, however, we welcome all beliefs and viewpoints for discussion.
We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.Â
To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.Â
This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.
These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.

This list of feedback has helped shape previous successful studies and would be great to target:
Consistency worked well (meet weekly whenever possible)
Open Group (Joining at any time encouraged)
Limit to 10-12 on any given week (Too many make discussion difficult)
More Diversity would be desirable (Age/experience/viewpoints)
Limit of 8-12 weeks for future studies (Good engagement, it gets too short/long otherwise)
Discussion was most enjoyable part, not the study’s structure
Minimal studying required (We are all busy, this helps focus on our time together)
Small Group format focused inward on studies, not outward towards service
More biblical or Jesus based, possibly a book of the Bible (God's word!)
