Stand Firm, Stand Up, Stand Together: A Vision for Men of Faith

Stand Firm, Stand Up, Stand Together: A Vision for Men of Faith
martin segal

The Vision of Stand is clear: to see the men in our church rise up as leaders of faith, unity, and courage. We face challenges like apathy, burdens, and consumerism, but through Christ, we are called to stand firm in our faith, stand up for righteousness, and stand together as brothers. This journey is not one of isolation but of gathering, growing, and challenging each other to be men who reflect the love and holiness of Christ in all areas of life.

Discipleship: Being accountable and getting practical
