Men, we’re meeting weekly to encourage, equip, and challenge one another as we study the book of John. Gatherings include worship, large group teaching, and small group discussion. These weekly studies are an excellent place to connect with other men and to strengthen your faith.
Cost for the study is $40 until 9/25.
On 9/25 cost increases to $45.
For any questions, please reach out to Pastor Mike Self at mike@riverwest.org.
