FBC Men’s Ministry
“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”
Proverbs 27:17
“Men do not become men in the company of women; we become men in the company of other men.”
-- From Every Man, God’s Man by Arterburn, Wendorf, & Luck
As Christian men, we were never intended to go it alone. We were designed by our Creator to connect with other Christian men – to encourage, support, and inspire each other in the adventures we live, through the battles we fight, and for the others we serve.
“And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him.
A cord of three strands cannot be broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:12
With these ideas in mind, the FBC Garland Men’s Ministry will empower and equip men through…
-
Missions and outreach activities
-
Ministries to meet the physical needs of others
-
Fellowship opportunities
-
Support programs for families and youth
-
Teaching and education, focused on men’s needs
The FBC Men’s Ministry is led by the Men’s Ministry Council. If you have input, feedback, or other information for the Council, simply click on the Council member's name below to send an e-mail.

On September 30, 2011 a movie was released nationwide by the producers of Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof. The movie, Courageous, has a strong Christian message and challenges men to embrace their responsibilities as dads and fathers.
Our church purchased 100 tickets for a special showing of the movie at AMC Firewheel in October 2011. We also have plans to use the movie for various showings at the church during 2012. Our first Men's Movie Night featuring the movie Courageous will be Saturday, March 24 at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall (McDonald Activities Building). A suggested $3 donation will be collected to offset costs for serving pizza and soft drinks. |
