"Building Men of Faith, Character, and Service"
“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,” says the Lord Almighty. – Zechariah 4:6 (NIV)

A WORD FROM PASTOR MARK

Men of ResLife, my heart is to see us grow as brothers who love Jesus deeply, stand firm in truth, and serve our families, church, and community with courage and humility. This newsletter is one way we’ll stay connected, informed, and encouraged as we follow Him together. I'm grateful you’re on this journey with us.

- Pastor Mark VanderVelde, Men's Ministry Leader

BIBLE STUDIES

The purpose of our bible studies is to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ, and develop deeper relationships with our brothers in Christ so we can better serve our family, our church, and the community we live in.

AWAKEN MENS RETREAT

This retreat is designed to awaken the hearts of men and set them free to live as sons of God, fully alive in Jesus Christ and ready to lead with humility, courage, and love. It is a time of transformation, renewal, and rediscovery of God’s calling.

May 6 - 10, 2026

Only 12 spots are available.

“You can’t truly lead until you’ve been led by Christ.”

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
- John 8:32 (NIV)

Testimonies

Each month we’ll share a short testimony (powerful, relational, and encouraging), so we can celebrate how God is at work in and through the men of ResLife.

  • “Through the Men’s Ministry, I’ve found a brotherhood that walks with me through faith and life.  Awaken changed my heart and gave me the courage to lead my family again.” - John D.
