MEN
Christian men face formidable challenges in today’s world. There are many obstacles that impede us from living “in a manner worthy of the calling” of Christ (Ephesians 4:1). Our desire at EBC is to encourage men in the outworking of their Christian calling, whether it concerns the workplace, home (as a husband and/or father), or their personal walk with the Lord.
During the Fall and Spring, Man Up Mondays take place every Monday morning at 6:00 am in the Fireside Room. Starting September 14, we will be going through Be Mature, a study of the book of James by Warren Wiersbe. For more information, please contact Pastor Tim Drumm at 360-424-1173 or tim@ebcmv.org.
WOMEN
The women of Emmanuel have many opportunities to live out their calling in Christ. The primary ministry emphasis for women is our Titus Two ministry, which teaches and trains women to think and live in accordance to God’s design for us so that He may be glorified.
There are also several women-specific Bible studies offered throughout the year, as well as larger-scale fellowship and teaching events. At any event or gathering that Women’s Ministries hosts, there will be a Bible-centered message for the women, as our desire is to encourage the women at EBC to become women of discernment who live out God’s word in our lives and community as ambassadors of Christ in a very lost world. Beginning September 16, our Fall Bible Study book will run from 9:30–11:00 am. We will meet in the Fireside room as we go through the 12-week study book by Jerry Bridges entitled The Practice of Godliness. We look forward to sitting side-by-side and developing character that is steadily transformed into His likeness.
