Life is meant to be shared. God intends for us to experience life together – the Bible calls this fellowship. Real fellowship is much more than just showing up at services. It is experiencing life together, including unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, and sympathetic comforting. When it comes to fellowship, size matters – smaller is better.
That’s why at Bay Pointe, we encourage you to get into a small group. We offer various affinity small groups – couples’, singles’, workplace, men’s, women’s, etc. No matter where you are in life, there’s something for everybody! Check out the group listings below, the Small Group table in the lobby or contact the Bay Pointe offices for more information, 231.922.9882.
“For where two or three have gathered together in my name, I am there in their midst.” – Matthew 18:20 NIV
- Men's Ministry
Men are not just here to survive – we are here to thrive! Equipping and empowering men to pursue God’s larger adventure. Our ministry to men is designed to meet men where they live – work, marriage, parenting, and faith.
The battle for the spiritual life is too difficult to attempt on your own. We all need a few men in our lives to fight beside us and watch our backs. A Men’s Small Group is a tremendous place to get the tools, resources, and support you need to grow as a Christ-follower. Be a part of a group of Godly men who will be there to encourage and empower you in your journey with Christ, your relationships, and your work life.
God’s role for men is a unique one and statistics will tell you that for the most part, from a spiritual perspective, as the man goes so goes the family. When 100 husbands show up to church, 97 families follow! Whereas if 100 wives or kids show up to church, only 20-25 families follow. The call to be the spiritual leaders of our homes is not to be taken lightly so as a church, we want to do everything we can to come alongside men in their journey because we can’t do it alone!
