Men

Join the Adventure

The Petra Men community helps men answer Christ's call by equipping them with the tools they need to grow toward God's purposes and activate his truth in everyday life. We aim to connect you to God and others through seasonal gatherings, healthy discipleship groups, and dynamic serving opportunities that will launch your faith into action.

Inspiring men to live a Christ-centered life of action and integrity.

Monthly Men's Breakfast

On the 3rd Saturday of each month, all men ages 13 and up are invited to our Men's Breakfast at Shady Maple, Garden Room at  7:00 AM. Each month, we feature one of the men from Petra to share his story. It is a buffet breakfast, or you can order off the menu. There's no need to register. We typically take a break in January, July, and August.

We need to fight for what matters.

 What matters? Knowing God and Knowing Your Purpose. One-to-one accountability is when a man is accountable to God and a mentor and not only provides the highest degree of accountability but is also effective in helping a Protégé restore balance and experience spiritual growth. The Strong27™ Mentorship Experience offers this type of accountability to men.
