There are phrases that describe many men today. Some of these might describe how you feel today:

 

- Under pressure

- Stressed

- Busy

- Hard-working

- Beaten down and weary

- Trying to get it right, but not always sure how

- Trying to make it work, but sometimes confused when it doesn’t

- Looking for some things that really matter

- Looking for some other guys who care, but don't smother (real men)

- On the look out for some other men who can help but don't make them feel foolish or inferior for needing help. 

- Looking for hope

- Some fun that doesn’t leave them feeling cheap or dirty, doesn’t leave them with consequences that are just too costly, and some guys to share that with who still understand what fun is and what makes a guy feel at home

- Searching for rest

- Seeking a challenge that once completed doesn’t turn to dust in their hands.

- Wanting to believe that God is, that he sees, that he cares, and that he can help.

 

It’s a long list, but I believe it’s an accurate one. And the answers to that search are what we in men's ministry are all about at Morning Star. 

 

Yes, we do stuff. Yes we do stuff that looks and sounds and feels like church at times. But at heart, we are men. Men who, just like you, feel and understand how tough life can be, yet how fantastic it can be too. We’re men who have often walked the same hard miles you have, experienced the same fears, frustrations, happiness, and sadness. And in all of that, we’ve experienced something additional. We’ve come to find that Jesus didn’t come to judge, but to restore. He came to offer what every man hopes is possible, but doesn't dare believe he could actually experience—life to the fullest. And now, we invite you, as friends and “brothers,” to join in that experience. Come join us. Get to know a bit more about us and about this Jesus that came to call us “brother” and “friend.”   

 

We offer a variety of activities and events. Some of them are listed on this page. But what we offer most, is one hand of friendship, (no matter who you are, where you've been, what you’ve done) and another of fellowship as you join us—guys just like you, who are already a league of men dedicated to God and living out our lives in camaraderie with Jesus.
