Young and old.
Every walk of life.
Men in community.

Men, we are designed by God to do life together. With time and with intention, we can model our lives on Christ and become a support and light to our world. One of the ways we can grow together is our CFM Mens Breakfast.

We gather at 8:30am for a hearty meal and coffee while engaging in fellowship and a pursuit of Jesus through teaching, discussion, and prayer. We can't grow in isolation, so let's be those living stones build on the cornerstone that is Christ.
