2009 saw significant growth in important areas in Men’s Ministry. Pete Lee moved into the role of Director of Men’s ministry and Abraham Wilson the assistant Director. Others given official roles are Bill Ragland as Secretary/Recorder and Dave Lays Outreach liason. Pastor Dennis continues to provide Pastoral oversight.

The Men and Women’s Ministries combined to hold a first annual Men’s and Women’s Breakfast, featuring great food, fellowship and insightful sharing from Pastor Kevin and Sherry Harney. It went so well that plans are already underway to make this event bigger and better next year.

In the first week of December Men’s hosted an Appreciation Dinner for those who helped with the Ministry activities throughout the year. With over 70 in attendance, the dinner was a resounding success and a beautiful opportunity to thank the many folks who help make this ministry thrive.

There are four different ongoing Men’s Bible Studies currently meeting; if you’re looking we probably have one that fits you! Saturday mornings, 7am at the church, Wednesday mornings 7am in Salinas (email Men’s ministry for location). Also mid week is a 7am study on Tuesday which is repeated at 6:30am Wednesday. These two studies are inductive and deductive. Diving deep into Scripture, the focus is on what the Bible says to us considering context, culture and content. Coffee is free! Pastor Dennis teaches the latter two.

If you’d like to get involved or just check in with someone from Men’s Ministry, check out the booth in the courtyard and/or email Pete Lee or Pastor Dennis at Shoreline.
