The desire of Men’s Ministry at Scottsdale Bible Church is to develop men who love God, love their families, love their fellow believers, and love the lost. We believe that God has called men to love the Lord first and foremost and then to lead their families out of an overflow of that love, and Men’s Ministry exists to come alongside men to help them live out this calling in their lives. Through biblical teaching, personal discipleship, and authentic community, the men of our church can grow together in our walks with the Lord, and see that carry over into our families and impact our world for the Gospel. We have many opportunities throughout the week for discipleship, Bible Study, and community!

THE FORGE | Tuesdays | 6:30pm | The Venue
(does not meet June 14; final meeting before summer break is June 21; program resumes on August 16)
Leader: Bill Cavness and Jason Belcher
THE FORGE is the first step for men at SBC in moving from being a believer in Jesus to becoming a follower of Jesus. We gather each week to study the Bible and discuss it in a small group setting where men can wrestle with the implications of God’s Word to our day-to-day lives as men, husbands, fathers, and leaders in the church and in our communities. The Forge is where “iron sharpens iron” (Prov. 27:17) and where we “stir up one another to love and good works” (Heb. 10:24).

The Helping Hands ministry exists to support those in our congregation and the community who have limited financial resources or physical restrictions. Our group of volunteers are available for projects such as small household repairs, landscaping needs, or assistance with computers or electronic equipment as well as occasional help with meals or donations of household items.
Thank you for understanding that our ability to fill your request depends on a myriad of factors including availability of appropriately skilled volunteers, scheduling coordination, and the scope of the request. Helping Hands volunteers hold a current cleared background check; scheduling of a job assumes our volunteers will be held harmless.
The Christian journey was never meant to be traveled alone. Jesus spent more time in the intentional personal dynamic than He did attracting crowds with His words and miracles. Jesus’s example of consistent, caring and compassionate one to one love for His followers while on earth perfectly demonstrated the importance and impact of men leading and discipling other men in all aspects of spiritual growth.
The “1-2-1” Men’s Mentoring Ministry uniquely offers genuine, transparent, and safe opportunities for the growing need of men to openly and safely discuss and work out with another spiritual brother the many questions, challenges, and internal battles facing all men in the church today.
The ultimate goal of “1-2-1” Men’s Mentoring Ministry is that every man at Scottsdale Bible Church is both mentoring and being mentored in a meaningful, supportive, and Christ-imitating relationship. Our mission to have men get real with one another through lifting up, building up, then encouraging and following up, will enable the men in the Body of Christ to become stronger and intentional in their faith walk and thereby better prepared for God’s call to live, lead, and share the grace and truth of the Gospel message.
Join the many men whose lives have already been changed through the mentoring journey by contacting Richard Hoyner at rhoyner@scottsdalebible.com
