The mission of the Evangel Men's ministry is  to build Relationships and encourge men  to experience the joy of Christ through fellowship, discipleship, evangelism, and service.  To fulfill our mission, we provide fellowship events,  small group Bible studies, retreats, and other functions that facilitate building relationships with other Christian men, and that encourage men to grow and nurture their faith. In the past year, some of our fellowship events have included a golf tournament, skeet shooting, fishing & cookout, work party, and retreat.  Our small groups are an integral part of our ministry as they cover a variety of teaching subjects, and are available at convenient days and times to accommodate men who work near our church as well as in Birmingham. Our 2008 Men’s Ministry retreat will be on the evening of January 25th and morning of January 26th.
