Men's Fellowship

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 or phone (408)252-4691.

Breakfasts & Events

Mark your calendars for the third Saturdays of the months to come. Our breakfasts start at 7:30 am and end at 9:00 am to give you time with your families. Everyone agrees that these breakfasts are designed by men for men and bring a combination of valuable fellowship, interesting speakers and great food!
Breakfast still comes to you at the low low price of $8.00 and we will have you out by 9:00 AM so you can enjoy the day with your families. Many of you are using this occasion to bring a colleague, a friend or a neighbor and this is great! It is always a low key event to help reach out to others.

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.

Opportunities for Service

Volunteers - Members of the Men's Fellowship help with maintenance needs at the homes of ill and disabled families as well as volunteer for projects at Advent Ministries.
Accountability Groups - For some men these groups of 4-6 men are great for holding each other accountable to walk the straight and narrow path the Lord desires for us.
Projects
  • Men's Fellowship sponsors "Workday at Church" where men volunteer for repair and maintenance work at the church every Thursday at 9:00 am. For more information, please contact Jerry Bruce.

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.
