COVENANT GROUPS

Circle and Arrow Men’s Group

Our purpose is to afford all men of the congregation opportunity to discuss their concerns, needs and joys regarding their uniquely male roles. We offer a supportive and non-threatening environment where they will find other men having similarly male-oriented issues and solutions.

We wish to enjoy the benefits of male fellowship, validation of our own worth and a deeper knowledge of, and kinship with, the other men of the church. Facilitator: Jim Hockin
