Adult Ministry

Iron Men: Every Man's Battle Series:
March 15th until April 5th, 2014
From the television to the internet, print media to videos, as men, we are constantly faced with the assault of sensual images. It is impossible to avoid such temptations...but, thankfully, not impossible to rise above them and overcome them.
Join us at Iron Men starting on March 15th for a 4 week series on this important topic. We will have different speakers share different viewpoints on this subject matter and a national speaker will highlight this series. Come and join us as we shatter the perception that men are unable to control their thought lives and roving eyes which leads to unhealthy actions.
