Men's Discipleship
|
| Purpose: To train and prepare men to actively
disciple and mentor other men and teens in the lifestyle of
Jesus Christ. The tie of friendship is critical in Christian
discipleship and there is much to be gained from a focused and
proactive pursuit of deepening and expanding ones skills and
commitment on how to be the kind of man that has something to
contribute to the spiritual life of a friend. This ministry is
all about teaching and training men in the ways of
discipleship. Russ Ikeda by email

Welcome our New Men's Fellowship Chairman
|
| Over the years the men's fellowship team has
had great leadership from men who have selflessly volunteered
their time to assure that there where programs and activities
to help promote good "fellowship" amongst the men of
our church. The tradition continues with Dale Roberts stepping
up to take the baton from Craig Awbry. |
| Dale has experience in a variety of ministries
at churches he has attended over the years. He has served as
Minister of Music for several churches in Southern and Central
California over a ten year period, and has been involved with
both youth and adult ministries, including men's ministry. He
has an extensive background in executive management in the
Commercial Development field and in Real Estate which gives
him and understanding and sensitivity to the issues facing
most men today trying to juggle busy careers and family life
with a pursuit of God and Christian fellowship. |
| Dale is married to Tina, his college
sweetheart, who also is an engaged and encouraging participant
in the life of the church. They have 4 grown children and 9
grandchildren. |

for us. |

History
|
| Saratoga Federated Church's (SFC) Men's
Fellowship program began in 1960, with a constitution that
defined the program's purpose "to promote Christian
fellowship among the men of the Church and their families, and
give opportunities for service and spiritual growth." The
group initially met Sunday mornings for breakfast before
church. In 1976, a set of guidelines was added to describe us
as a group that helps men fulfill their roles as Christians;
that provides a way to bring newcomers into fellowship; and
nourishes small group interaction where men can learn to live
more effectively as Christians. |
