Our facMEN’s ministry is here to equip and encourage you to love God and others well by living a life of honor, truth, and grace. Through Bible study, mentoring, and authentic community with others, the men of FAC are challenged to grow in relationship with Christ and pursue godly manhood.

Whether in Bible studies, Christian men’s retreats, or other opportunities for connection and growth, you’ll connect with Christian men across the Erie-area and uncover God’s purpose over your life and be empowered to shape your home, workplace, and community as a follower of Jesus.

Check out the various events below. There’s something for everyone, including events for you to enjoy and spend time with your family!

facWEEKLY

  • Through Bible studies, the men of FAC gather to go deep into God’s Word as we seek to know him, love him, and lead others to him.

    Bible studies typically meet on Saturday mornings from January–May and September–November.

    Current Bible Study: Daniel
    Date: Saturdays, beginning January 10, 2026
    Time: 9:00–10:30am
    Place: Room E215 (Fireside Room)

    To make a difference, you have to be different.

    The book of Daniel is set in the heart of a hostile, pagan empire. Yet four Hebrew men found a way to honor God, and in doing so, participated in miraculous displays of God’s glory. This 8-session study can help men develop the godly courage, convictions, and habits found in Daniel. Perhaps God will use our faithfulness to demonstrate His glory in today’s Babylon.

    There is no cost to attend and no need to sign up—just show up!

  • Each year, the men of FAC can experience a Christian men’s retreat—a weekend full of camaraderie, (mostly) friendly competition, and opportunities to worship God in community with our brothers at Miracle Mountain Ranch.

  • Our men’s breakfasts are a great opportunity for men to connect with one another and build friendships. Men shouldn’t do life alone! So come out, bring a friend, and get connected! The men here at FAC encourage and strengthen one another, and the breakfasts are a healthy place of connection and sharing.

    Breakfasts are typically held in February, June and October. Registration is required and fills up quickly, so be on the lookout for announcements in the facWEEKLY.

  • Guys! Lace up your sneakers, buy some Bengay, and join us as we hit the “hardwood” for some basketball action! We open up the FAC gym on Tuesday nights from 6:00–8:00pm for guys (ages 16+) to play pickup games.

    Open Gym Basketball typically runs January–April and September–October.

  • It's game time!

    Join the league and bring your projections, stats, cheat sheets, and sleepers to make your picks! And, if it’s your first time and you just want to try it out for fun, come on out! You don’t have to be a seasoned veteran. facMEN host a LIVE draft party in August and a post-season pizza party in January.

    Fantasy Football is open to men, women, and youth!
