Many
men today in America find themselves at a crossroads. We
experience the tug of
careers, family and of God. We have begun to sense His direction for us,
but how do we find our way through the maze of today's society?
"As iron sharpens Iron, so
one man sharpens another" Proverbs 27:17
The men's ministry exists to help connect, serve
and grow Godly men. We are committed to a thriving ministry that speaks
God’s truth to men in everyday "today" language that gives
purpose and peace to
our lives as leaders, husbands, sons, brothers and fathers.
Crosspoint Baptist Men’s
Ministry encourages men of all ages to become fully devoted
followers of Christ. We want to equip men to fulfill their
calling as servant/leaders at home, in the community and in the
church. The Men at Crosspoint have many activities during the
year. Suppers, golf, clay shooting are just a few of our
activities.
