20's Group
As someone who started attending the church 18 years ago as a 21 year old I know what’s it’s like to want to build a good foundation. When I started attending I was still in college finishing my social work degree. Over the past 18 years much has happened. 14 years ago I met my wife at the church and we now have 2 kids (9  year old son and 7 year old daughter). The Lord redirected my career path to enter into ministry 13 years ago. I went back to school and have been in full time ministry ever since. So as you can tell much has happened in 18 years but as I turn 40 in December I am more determined to pour into the next generation.
We will meet at Starbucks on Harbor and Wilson. Not sure yet what we will study but we will let the Holy Spirit lead our discussions. We will meet for 7 weeks, every Tuesday from 8:30-10pm. Not sure the location, we will start at Starbucks, maybe head to the church or my home or maybe one of your places.
The group is intended to challenge your walk, strengthen friendships and call you higher. If you were a part of M-6:8 then you know what it’s like to be pushed, this will have a similar feel but smaller and with people your age, dealing with similar issues your dealing with.
 The resolutions we will pursue in this group include…
·         Be willing to be held accountable for your life by discussing your life authentically and
            transparently.
           Be willing to study and learn the Bible.
·         Be willing to memorize scripture.
·         Be willing to be accountable to purity
·         Be willing to give the full tithe.
·         Be willing to learn to share your faith locally and globally and then share it locally and
            globally.
·         Be willing to share your testimony in front of the church.
·         Be willing to lead and mentor other men.
·         Be willing to be accountable for your finances.
·         Be willing if you are dating someone meet with me and discuss your relationship and 
            choose to court her.
