*Events are for men 18 years old and older

R12 is all about men connecting. While we love our children and want them to see men in action and be with us in “manly” gatherings, R12 Meatings will have real-life testimonies with some that should not be shared outside of R12. Our devotion time, where we will break into small groups, needs to allow men to speak freely, and not worry about whether something is age-appropriate. Thank you for understanding.

Breakfast Meatings

Six each year (intentional misspelling) – approximately one every other month.

At the breakfast, we enjoy well-prepared food, hear a testimony from a member of the church, and receive a devotion that leads each table of men to discuss prepared questions from the devotion. After some time, a leader, from the front of the room, will ask each table to have a representative share the thoughts from their table. Someone will wrap up the discussion, then we will enjoy a session of praise music by the R12 Praise Team, after which there will be prayer partners available for anyone who desires prayer.

After each Breakfast Meating, we plan to schedule two to three service projects where those who wish to participate will go as a team to complete necessary projects for the church, single moms/widows, and/or our elderly – from carpentry to landscaping to automotive maintenance, etc.

We schedule two Dinner Meatings each year with a similar format as the Breakfast Meatings, but with a twist.

At least once each month, we have fellowship events that may include a golf tournament, a fishing trip, going to a shooting range, a camping trip, a cycling event, a game night, boating, sporting events, concerts, etc.

At Thanksgiving, we hope to have our first annual Turkey Bowl. Fathers can bring their families to the field, TBD, 8am Thanksgiving Day to play flag football. There will be music, cheering, hot beverages, and a great time for all.

The following are current weekly meetings taking place:

7am – Men’s Saturday morning prayer group

7pm – Men’s Wednesday evening Growth Group

7pm – Men’s Wednesday evening prayer group

General Coordinator: John Bangs

Please feel free to connect with John to discuss any questions you may have in general about R12. [email protected]

Music Coordinator: Ben Broadwater

We enjoy talented musicians, leading us in mostly contemporary music balanced with some older hymns of the church. While the music level will not burst any eardrums, there will be a concert feel, so guys can sing out and not feel like everyone can hear them. Music is selected to raise our spirits towards heaven, encouraging men as they may be struggling with something or simply wanting to praise God for all that He is doing in their lives.

Devotions Coordinator: Ryan Mann

Our Meatings offer a devotion that is carefully chosen for each gathering to focus us as to who we are as men of the church. Men of SPEP will be selected for each event to guide in the devotions and offer testimonies.

Connection Coordinator: Page Hatcher

As Connection is a main theme, having brothers slip through the cracks is not acceptable. We will proactively follow up with brothers whom we may have missed or who requested prayer requests so we can see how they are doing.  We always follow up with new attendees and, for any one who desires, we will be happy to meet with them.

Fellowship Events Coordinator: Jim Gray

Each month we will have one or two fellowship events: fishing, golfing, boating, shooting, etc., in order to keep men connected in fun ways. When brothers have common interests and enjoy spending time together, small accountability groups can be formed.

Logistics Co- Coordinators: Josh Gordon

It is all in the planning! Our events calendar is coordinated with the church office, and every event requires volunteers to help set up/ tear down as well as make sure we have cooks! Logistics includes providing all necessary equipment for each event, furniture, A/V, etc.; it takes a team! Let us know if you would like to help!

Service Project Coordinator: Logan Sharp

After each R12 Meating, we desire to have service projects where men can participate. Working with various SPEP ministries – the Deacons, Women’s Advocates, DUO, and Oasis – we are able to identify needs where our men can work together, using our hands on cars, lawns, homes, or at the church, just to name a few. Learning the strengths and abilities of the men of our church allows us to work together to better serve the kingdom.
