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!

Surrender. Deny Yourself. Follow Jesus.

We talk about being ALL IN—ALL THE TIME, but what does that really look like in the everyday life of a man following Jesus?

Join FAC Men for our next 8-week study as we dig into Jesus’ call to surrender, deny ourselves, and follow Him. Together, we’ll move beyond simply talking about these principles and learn what it looks like to actually live them out—in our faith, families, relationships, workplaces, and everyday decisions.

ALL IN isn’t just something we say. It’s how we want to live.

Registration is not required; just show up and join us!

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.

    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!

    • ERIE OTTERS NIGHT
