Men’s Ministries
Our mission is to glorify God by becoming men committed to living under the authority of God’s Word, seeking to live self-controlled, trustworthy, and godly lives. “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.” - Psalm 127:1a
Pizza Nights
Periodically we have nights set aside just for men of The Orchard. This is a valuable time to fellowship with other men and to grow spiritually in filling the many life roles to which the Lord has called us.
LIFE Groups
Find fellowship with other believers around God's Word through a Men’s LIFE Group. These groups meet at various times throughout the week and typically discuss the sermon from the previous weekend or other gospel-centered material. See the complete list of LIFE Groups.
Groups at LIFE Connections
Sundays at 10:30 am in the Faculty Lounge
LIFE Connections offers a great opportunity to connect with other men. LIFE Connections meets on Sunday mornings in the Douglas room at the 10:30 hour. Participants attend the 8:45 am service, then sit at a round table with others to discuss how what they have learned applies to their lives. Each group has a leader and the group stays together to provide a small group experience.
Men in Action
Join with other men in forming work teams to "adopt" single mothers, widows, and others who may need help in performing minor fix-it jobs around the house. Teams meet at church one Saturday morning per month for prayer and then deploy to homes for half-day work sessions. Contact Stace Stoltzfus, 847.636.8664, if you'd like to get involved.
Golf League
FORE! The tenth season of the Men’s Golf League will begin on May 11. These Tuesday outings are open to all ages and skill levels - with a special invitation to young and middle aged golfers. Here’s a terrific opportunity to invite friends to experience the fun and fellowship of The Orchard! Tee times run from 1:30-2 PM. Please call Tom Brennan, 847.255.8539, for more information and to get signed up.
Men’s Mentoring
Contact Dick Renfro, 847-394-4370
Our mentoring program facilitates Christ-centered mentoring relationships that help men achieve their God-given potential and grow in godliness in all aspects of life. Mentors meet periodically with their partner to discuss life issues, study God’s Word for guidance, pray for each other, and just become friends.
