forged Men's Ministry

This ministry is open to men ages 18+ who want to grow in faith through Bible studies and engaging group activities. Our focus is on becoming the men God has called us to be—servants in the church, strong leaders in our communities, and mentors to our friends and families. It's a place to build lasting relationships while deepening our walk with Christ.

weekly Men's Bible Study

Wednesday Nights | 7pm (while trimester Growth Groups are in session)

Location: New Life Community Church


Wednesday night Bible study is a great opportunity to connect with other men in the church and grow together through God’s Word. We encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, engage in group discussions, and learn from one another in a supportive and uplifting environment.


In addition to Bible study, we plan monthly activities that give men a chance to build friendships outside the church walls. From axe throwing and movies to BBQs and more, we aim to provide a variety of events that are fun, affordable, and inclusive for everyone.
