STUDIES BEGINNING FEBRUARY 1

SALT - Spiritually Authentic Leadership Training - new semester

SALT is a tool to help men make Christ’s last command of discipleship our first concern.  Through the individual, one-on-one, small group and large group components of SALT, you can find discipleship, encouragement and accountability to equip you for all that life holds.  Shandon Baptist is pleased to offer this discipleship journey for men.  

SALT includes:

  • Pairing with another man for a three (3) month commitment to walk the spiritual journey together. This involves one-on-one meetings every other week-thru April 25.
  • Individually pursuing God through His Word, journaling, and a select book.
  • Practical Life Assignments to put feet to our Faith.
  • Commitment to a small group for mutual encouragement every other week.
  • Expectation of “passing on” Biblical principles to family and/or friends.
  • A commitment that is entered into formally with an application.
  • Evaluation Question at the end: Do I love Christ more now than when I began?
  • The cost is TBA.

Why SALT? Many men have discovered the SALT structure helpful for their own spiritual growth and a doable way to reproduce themselves in the life of one other man.  The goal of SALT is that you will know and love Christ more than when you began.  Join us beginning February 1.

Registration for SALT 2012-Spring Semester is closed.  If you are registered and would like to pay online, Click here.

Following Jesus: A Look Into Peter’s Life  - Wednesday Evening Bible Study

 

 

As men, God wants to use our abilities and time to bring about His purposes in our families, businesses, and church… that is, if we are brave enough to follow Him wherever He leads. Join us as we take a deeper look into the life of Peter and learn from his personal journey of following Jesus. God transformed Peter’s life into a life qualified to lead others while building the Kingdom of God. Through Peter’s journey, attitudes, and actions, God provides some very practical handles for us, as men, to hold on to while navigating our lives to become what God desires. This class will be a 9-week study on Wednesday nights from 6:35-7:35 p.m. starting on February 1 in room A227. 

 

 

 

Our Mission Statement

To grow strong men of God in our church, our community and our world, by reaching out to men within our church walls as well as outside in our church community with the message of Jesus Christ.

The Vision Statement 

To lead men to know Christ as their personal Savior and to be discipled into a deeper relationship with Him.

We accomplish this task by providing opportunity for men of all ages to meet together through the focus and content of a variety of events held each year. Events that provide fellowship and spiritual growth. A consorted effort is made to reach men in our community who have not made a commitment to Christ and have little or no association with a local church.  

We seek to train and develop a strong core of men who have a desire and commitment to reach out in the name of Christ. We seek to accomplish this task by providing events such as the following: Prayer breakfasts, father/son fun events, spring and fall golf tournaments.
