Rooted in the Genesis message of man’s creation and leadership, the Men’s Society invites you to step into your God-given potential. By actively participating in the mission of the church, this Society aims to provide holistic care, nurture talents, and cultivate strong spiritual growth.
Join us as we explore the goals, structure, and activities designed to equip men to serve, lead, and forge lasting bonds of brotherhood within the community of the Pentecostal Church (John 14:6).
01. Men’s Ministry
Justification
- In his creation, God created man in his likeness and image. Genesis Chapter 3: Throughout the Word of God, man has been the one God has entrusted with the priesthood. In other words, leadership on the face of the earth.
- Aware of this reality and seeing in them the love for God and his work, we call for the integration of the Society of Men, which we believe without a doubt will be an important part in the development of the Church’s plans.
