The church's ministry to men is called “The Brotherhood” and our foundational verse is "God chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn with many brothers..." (Rom. 8:29), which tells us that men are to be brothers to one another and with Christ Jesus. Men are to support each other and "watch their back" since the Bible teaches we are in the middle of a spiritual battle. The vision of “The Brotherhood” is to equip men to fulfill their Biblical, God-ordained roles as spiritual leaders in the home, church, workplace and community.

Our Purpose
to offer the brotherhood of Christ to men fighting to move from success to meaning, addictions to freedom, and self-orientation to God's priorities.
to be an instrument of God in His transformation of ordinary men into mighty men of God; training, equipping, and preparing them for spiritual battle, calling them to fight the good fight, finish the course and keep the faith. So that they may please the One who enlisted them as a soldier.

We believe, that according to Ephesians 6:12, we are in the midst of a spiritual battle that requires that we be strong, equipped with the full armor of God, ready to resist in the evil day and stand firm. The Men's Ministry of Lake Deerwood Fellowship exists to make men aware of this battle and to prepare them for their role in it as good soldiers of Christ (2 Tim 2:3).

We strive to do this in Jesus Christ by:

The Vision
Sadly, most men wander aimlessly through life, spending themselves on uninspiring pursuits. One guy put it something like this, "Over the course of a man's life, his manhood is too often determined by ball fields, bedrooms, and billfolds." Sad, but true. The Brotherhood hopes to give men an inspiring Biblical vision of manhood, call them up, and equip them to love God, their families, their church, their community, and their world through Jesus Christ—and to help others do the same.

The Means
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLT

Men become men in the company of men and bonds are created when we do things together. That, quite simply, is the purpose of The Brotherhood.

It’s tempting to believe that we’re strong enough to handle life on our own, but the truth is that we as men are most vulnerable when we’re isolated from other men. When God’s Man stumbles it is almost always because he’s alone and disconnected from other men who can help him through.

We all need brothers we can trust, a group of men we can journey through life with, who will help us face our fears, our trials, and our secrets. We need a place of security, support, growth, and accountability.
