At Ashland we are calling our men to flesh out such a vision for manhood.  We do this through informal accountability relationships, as well as, formal ministry opportunities and events.  These are a few of our ministry opportunities

Monday Morning Prayer Beginning at 6:30 and ending promptly at 7:30 the men of Ashland  gather at the church to study and seek the Lord in prayer.  Recent  book studies include: Humility: True Greatness by CJ Mahaney; The Autobiography of  George Muller, Manly Dominion…in a Passive-Purple-Four- Ball World by Mark Chanski; and When Sinners Say “I Do” by Dave  Harvey.

Marriage Conference every year the Men’s Ministry sponsors a church-wide conference for  married couples.  As men, we understand the God-ordained role of  leadership we have in the home (Eph. 5:21-33) and endeavor to  protect and cultivate that relationship for the glory of God in the  church.  The marriage conference offers couples an opportunity to  grow in their biblical understanding of marriage and also provides an  occasion to grow in their relationship with each other. 

Men’s Shoot Out. This event weaves fellowship with competitive skeet shooting.  This  is a wonderful event for all ages, and is a favorite for fathers and sons.   It also provides an excellent opportunity to invite friends and family  who need to hear the gospel.  The Shoot Out includes a meal and a  challenge from God’s Word and is always a great time of fellowship.

Men’s Breakfasts. These meals offer a time for men to come together to be challenged  to fulfill our calling in our families, our church, and our places of  work.  The breakfasts provide another opportunity for “iron to  sharpen iron” as we challenge and hold one another accountable in  our walks with Christ.    Proverbs 27:17  “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
