Men At Creekside

Upcoming Events

Men's Huddle

The Easiest Way to Connect With Other Men

Sat, Aug 8

8:00 am

The Venue

Join us for our monthly Men’s Fellowship, The Huddle - where the coffee’s hot, the breakfast is hearty, and the conversation is real. It’s a relaxed, welcoming time for men to connect, laugh a little, and encourage one another as we grow in our walk with Christ.

Each month features a guest speaker or a down-to-earth devotional that’s practical, thought-provoking, and relevant to everyday life. Come hungry*, pull up a chair, and build friendships with men who are walking the same road you are.

Whether you’ve been around church for years or you’re just checking things out, men of all ages are welcome. No pressure—just good food, good company, and a chance to grow stronger together.

*Breakfast is available for a suggested $10 donation.

Guest Speaker:
Don Miles

Don began his walk with the Lord at the age of nine. He soon realized that God's desire for him was to live a life loving and serving people. He has been a family doctor since 1989 and a member of Creekside since 2008.  Don and his wife Judith have been married for over 40 years and have two sons and three grandchildren.

Don has served in many ministries in the church from leading a Life Group to currently serving as an Elder. He has a heart for people and for the Lord and we look forward to him sharing God's Word at our next Huddle.

About Men's Ministry

Our mission is to give men the opportunity for growth in becoming more Christ Like.

This is accomplished by providing: comprehensive biblical studies; opportunities to foster friendships; special events
and service in ministry that helps build the community of God.

Men’s Ministry comes along side of men to help answer these questions: what does God desire of me as a servant, leader,
single man, father and husband?

And, how do I walk in the grace of God? All these questions are addressed in the various Biblical studies and events that are held
in our ministries.
