Men's Groups
Our Men's Groups are broken up into two categories - mid-size communities called The Refuge and smaller communities called ATM Groups.
The Refuge
At The Refuge, our goal is to help you discover where the truth of God's scripture intersects with your personal story. This is not your typical Bible study, but a place where you will be challenged to get out of your comfort zone, to be honest about the areas where you struggle to follow Christ, and to find encouragement and wisdom from other men on the journey. If you're not currently connected with other men at Woodmen, The Refuge is the perfect place to start.

Thursdays, 7 pm, WH Module 106, Contact: Kevin Kuehn
ATM Groups
Our ATM Groups are built on our core values as a Men's Ministry - authenticity, transformation and mission. At an ATM Group, you will go deeper in your walk with Christ by learning to rely on the leadership and the voice of the Holy Spirit. Without using any curriculum, you'll take a risk to trust and depend on the insights of other men as they challenge you to be more like Christ. An ATM Group is the best environment to experience lasting transformation and deep community with other men.

If you are looking for a group at a time that isn't offered, contact the Men's Ministry office at mens@woodmenvalley.org to let us know what time works for you. We start new groups as trained leaders become available, and we try to offer groups at a variety of times that work for the most number of people.
