Brothers in Christ is a monthly gathering for men who come together to share their faith, reflect on personal experiences, and engage in meaningful discussion. Virtual fellowship meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month, from 7:00 to 7:45 p.m., offering an opportunity for men to deepen their relationship with Christ while building fellowship with one another.

Men interested in growing in fellowship and discipleship with other men devoted to Christ are encouraged to register.
