Men's

The Men's Ministry at Knox Church is "committed to building godly men to serve Christ in their home, church, career and community." This mission statement, adopted by the Men's Ministry in 1995, is pursued through a variety of initiatives, events and activities. The Men's Ministry places great emphasis on developing relationships in and among the men of Knox for furthering encouragement and support of men in their walk with Christ.

Accountability in Men's Lives
The Scriptures tell us that we are to sharpen one another like iron sharpening iron. Many of the men of Knox have developed accountability relationships with two or three other men. The concept is for a small group of men (no more than three or four) to get together on a regular basis to get to know one another, pray together and ask each other the tough questions about how their personal life is going. The Men's Ministry seeks to assist in matching men with other Christian men in these relationships.

Men's Retreats
The Men's Ministry has consistently provided retreat opportunities to Knox men, historically on an annual basis. Typically, the retreats are held in the late winter or early spring. They provide an excellent opportunity for men to share fellowship, learn from God's word and reflect upon their walk with Christ. Our 2009 Retreat will be held in the spring. Check back for details.

Fellowship Events
Opportunities for the men of Knox to come together in fellowship are planned on a periodic basis. Examples have included cookouts, football games and movie/bonfire nights. These are excellent opportunities for men to get to know one another better and build relationships.

Father-Son/Daughter Canoe Camping Trip
Since 1997, the Men's Ministry has sponsored an annual father son/daughter canoe/camping trip. Camping occurs over a Friday night with the canoeing on Saturday. This has been a very successful event with many Knox men and their children experiencing the fun over the past several years. This event is typically held at an area metropark.

Sports and Recreation
The Men's Ministry has sponsored numerous sports teams over the past several years. Along with the Women's Ministry, the Men's Ministry sponsors the KNOX SOX summer league co-ed softball team. Informal recreational opportunities are ongoing, with Saturday morning and Tuesday evening pick-up basketball games being a staple for those looking for some exercise and fun. Evangelism is the philosophy behind the teams and recreational opportunities that are sponsored by the Men's Ministry.

Service and Home Repair Projects
Knox is blessed with many men who are gifted tradesmen, carpenters, plumbers, etc. The Men's Ministry began a partnership with the Board of Deacons in 1999 to schedule home repair and maintenance projects where men of the church will work together to provide needed support. This might be a home of a congregation member, or it might include work on a church or other buildings in our community.
