Change in Pastor/Counselor

It is with great regret that I announce the resignation from the Disciples Men Commission of our Pastor/Counselor, Rev. James Shelton. The Commission would like to thank James for the outstanding service and leadership he has brought to our commission. He will be missed greatly.

Now for good news: Rev. Dr. Jay White has agreed to fill the position of Pastor/Counselor for the Disciples Men Commission. Jay is the pastor at Lawrenceville First Christian Church. I know that all of us will look forward to working with him as he begins this new journey with the men of our region. Welcome, Jay.

Union Christian Church, Watkinsville

Disciples Men from Union Christian Church in Watkinsville spent the day at Camp Christian on March 17, 2012 working on the cabins. According to Tommy Freeman, camp manager, “A good hearted group of young men were paintin the floors of the cabins . . . They painted the floor in every cabin, all ten, and they look great! They used quality paint that they furnished and made the inside of the cabins look so, so much better. What a great bunch of guys and a great bunch of helpful attitudes they brought with them.”

Past Events
Why Attend Regional Men's Events?
  1. We should spread the word to others that God is working through men.
  2. Shared experiences help you and others.
  3. We can work together for a greater good in mission ventures.
  4. We can benefit, grow and discover a better picture of the church as Jesus intended.
  5. We can share Spiritual fellowship -- we are kindred spirits.
  6. We see that we are not alone and that others go through the same things in this life.
  7. Our gatherings reinforce who we are as Disciples and that the church is global, not limited.
  8. We have greater opportunity to hear new insight from speakers from the wider church.
  9. We can tackle larger service projects as a region than a single congregation can do.
  10. Physical fellowship -- being with likeminded believers in a ministry of presence.
  11. We are meant to gather -- Jesus sent his Disciples out in groups, not alone.
  12. We share an abundant and overflowing outpouring of Christian love among the men.
  13. To be a greater witness to the joy of salvation in Christ.
  14. A benefit -- "as iron sharpens iron, so to does one man another"
  15. So you can meet more folks you'll spend eternity with.
  16. Because God is worshipped and you can experience that worship through music, singing and prayer from a uniquely male perspective and atmosphere.
  17. To stay informed about the joys, needs and concerns of the wider church.
  18. Somebody there may need your help.
  19. Somebody there may be your help.
    And last but not least,
  20. A verse -- " Forsake not the assembling of yourselves" for Christ's sake.
