Iron Men
"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." ~ Proverbs 27:17
The Men's Ministry at First Church provides a variety of opportunities for the men in our congregation to come together and enjoy Christian fellowship, discipleship, and mission.
As we grow, we are participating with other men in numerous worthwhile, fun, and faith-building activities. Our activities include an annual Golf Tournament in the Fall, Chili Bowl, Father/Child events, Fishing trips, Hunting trips, and service projects. Guest speakers, dinners, and Bible studies are held at various times throughout the year.

Men’s Event with Coach Kris Hogan of Faith Christian School
The Iron Men event with Coach Kris Hogan was wonderful! The food provided by Old West Cafe was out of this world. A special "Thanks" goes out to the First Church String Band who opened the evening with three great songs. Coach Hogan then took the stage with a powerful message. All who attended made this a special evening for all!
