We meet each Friday morning at the Barn on the campus of Christ Church. The doors open at 6am with the study beginning at 6:30am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven of our Brave Men have assumed the role of teaching as Rev. Jeff Stivason<\/mark><\/strong> has been caring for his wife Tabatha as she battles with cancer. Please continue to pray for Tabatha. Here is the link to the Caring Bridge<\/a> where Jeff posts updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rev. Ted Wood<\/mark><\/strong> has been committed to carrying on and scheduling the ministry of teaching the Brave Men in the spirit of Bruce Bickel<\/mark><\/strong>, our founding teacher and his successor, Jeff Stivason<\/mark><\/strong>, all in the power of the Holy Spirit. We have been delighted how well the teaching has gone. Lots of different content with substance. Thanks be to God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
