Men’s Ministry

Spiritual Warriors Advancing Truth (S.W.A.T.) is a mid-week men’s forum where Doug shares from God’s Word in a clear and practical way, principles that will encourage men in their spiritual battles and journey of faith. S.W.A.T. meets at different venues in the Jacksonville area on Tuesdays,Wednesdays, and Thursdays – all men are welcome.  Bring your Bible, something to take notes with, and a desire to learn and join us! SWAT teams are built around practical and relevant teaching with “Battle Buddies” from God’s Word because we can’t do it ALONE!! We are at WAR and we are supposed to be warriors, but too many men are not engaged.

WHAT WE BELIEVE:

As men, we live in a high risk environment and should never forget that we are in a spiritual battle everyday!  We are often bombarded with attacks from the enemy-against our family, our finances, and our personal walk with Jesus.  We need to band together and  lock arms, as we seek to follow Christ and serve our families, our churches, and our communities.

The vision of S.W.A.T. is “to train men as spiritual warriors that will transform their world.” Our values are rooted in the centrality of the Gospel as our hope and our reminder that we are merely broken instruments that God chooses to use to transform the world in which we live.

We believe strongly in fulfilling the Great Commission to make disciples (Matt. 28:18-20).

We will pursue and live out these values by engaging in large group gatherings, men’s bible studies, small groups, and discipleship/mentoring relationships.

Five elements that are essential to how we live out the mission of S.W.A.T. are:

  1. God’s Word – Our Authority, Our starting point and greatest weapon
  2. Prayer – Devotionally, Intercession – this is the battle!
  3. Discipleship – Intentional relationships, Centrality of the Gospel, Mutual Accountability
  4. Evangelism – Prayerfully, Intentionally, Naturally
  5. Community – Authentically, Regularly – band of brothers!
