Men
Be the man you were meant to be in every area of life! We welcome you to new friendships, opportunities to grow, and a chance to laugh with other men on the "Journey" of life. Our purpose is to see men be spiritually formed in Christ, through experiencing Fairhaven's five core purposes (Worship, Community, Equipping, Serving, and Outreach) in ways that are most effectively accomplished by being together as men.

RECURRING EVENTS

Various books of the Bible, along with selections of Christian literature and DVD series, are the focus of weekly meetings that build man-to-man friendships and stronger commitment to Christ. For some series, there is a nominal cost for a book or workbook.
Hearing God by Dallas Willard
Tuesdays, 6:00 AM, Lounges
This book addresses questions such as, How do we hear God's voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What role does the Bible play? What if what God says to us is not clear? The key, says best-selling author Dallas Willard, is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator.
Spiritual Warfare
Tuesdays, 7:00 PM, Rooms 204-205
Satan's strategy is for us to doubt the character and faithfulness of God. As a warrior you are charged to defend the Gospel. But to experience victory, you must be clothed in the "Armor of God" when attacked by the enemy. This study on Ephesians 6 will focus on the equipment God provides to spiritually defend yourself.
Men's Fellowship Breakfast
Saturdays at 7:15 AM, The Lounges
Dozens of men gather weekly for a hot breakfast ($3), shared prayer, meaningful speakers and testimonies and encouraging fellowship. The facilitator, Don Kersey, invites men to come for any or all of what occurs every Saturday. Come when you can, leave when you have to!
Serving
Monday Morning Men
This group meets the first Monday of the month (9:00 AM) to handle various handyman work projects around church facilities. We start with coffee, donuts, a devotional, and then ... get to work!
Parking Team
The very first impression of Fairhaven Church is made in the PARKING LOT! So we need a team public relations specialists managing the entrances and exits to make sure it’s a good one.
Shuttle Drivers
To make more room in the church parking lot on Sundays, many people park off site. And we need van drivers to shuttle people back and forth on Sunday mornings. Can you take a turn driving once or twice a month?
Security
We’re building a positive, people oriented team that will promote safety and know how to handle emergencies.
St. Vincent’s Homeless Shelter
Teams of men cook breakfast for the homeless on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Saturday mornings (5:00 AM) of the month.
God created man in His image and He desires that all men rise up and become ultimate warriors and leaders for His kingdom. At Fairhaven Northmont, men are empowered by participating in regular gatherings where they can not only grow, but thrive in their relationships with God.
Our goal is to empower men to take on an entirely new way of life, a God fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into their conduct as God accurately reproduces His character in them.
Our purpose is to develop a pathway for men to passionately pursue God and grow in spiritual maturity. We also want to create a safe place for men to share their struggles, grow into wholeness, and embrace their God-given purpose. Additionally, Fairhaven Northmont wants to facilitate and encourage every man to grow in Christ through the spiritual windows of prayer, discipleship, evangelism, and servant leadership.
