The Ironmen of Mt. Horeb
The Ironmen of Mt. Horeb
The IRONMEN of Mt. Horeb is a “Fraternity” of Christian men who are servant leaders in the church, ready and willing to help with just about any need our church body may have. We want to be warriors for Jesus who will mobilize the men in our church to be better husbands, fathers, and spiritual leaders.
Meetings are held on the 4th Thursday of each month except for June, July, and August (meetings these months will only be held “as needed”). Our meetings will sometimes include a meal and a speaker; however, we will also have planning meetings where we discuss the needs of our ministry, the needs of other ministries in the church that may need our help, and the needs of our community. These meetings are meant to be a connection point for the men between small group/ Sunday school classes and Sunday services. We want to use these meetings as a launching pad to get men excited about their faith and get closer to our Creator…to get them on a path of greater depth in their spiritual walk. For additional information, contact Fran Halloran.

Volunteer Program- find a service project the men can do on an annual basis- perhaps refurbish a church member’s home in disrepair (a la Salkahatchie); a “bank” of volunteers who will be able to help with the needs of other ministries at Mt. Horeb; oil changes for single moms and widows.
Accountability Groups- groups of 4-8 men who get spiritually intimate with each other and hold one another accountable.
