Our goal is to encourage and equip men to lead, love, and serve like Jesus in all of their many roles – whether it’s modeling Christ at work or school, growing as a loving husband, or developing character as a father. Below are a few opportunities for men to connect.

Men of Good Presence Bible Study
A man of good presence knows what a situation calls for. His confidence is rooted in his faith in God. He is strong in character, humble in heart, and purposeful in his actions. Others draw strength from him because he is not easily shaken.
We are studying key men from the Old Testament and learning from them what it means to be men of good presence. This is not an inductive Bible study. Rather, most questions are designed for personal reflection and life application.
This is a great opportunity to grow in your faith and connect with other men.
For any questions, please contact Pastor Mike Self at mike@riverwest.org.
