Men’s Fraternity 2011-12

(Sorry this page update is so last minute, fellas!  Year Two group started on 9/9 and Year One group starts on 9/16, but it isn’t too late to join either group.)

The Chapel is pleased to once again offer the Men’s Fraternity curriculum and fellowship as a ministry open to all men of the greater Baton Rouge area.  We are excited to have men from a variety of area churches participating together in our Men’s Frat group, and want you to know it is in no way limited to members of our church, or any church at all. If you do not live in driving distance of the Baton Rouge area, check out the Men’s Fraternity main website to find the location of the group nearest you. Or, if you are interested in getting Men’s Frat started at your church, here are some great resources.

I am grateful to tell you we are offering both the Year One and Year Two courses this year, so you can get plugged into the right material and fellowship for this season of your journey! 

And you can register online for either group right here.

The guys working through Year One will be meeting on Friday mornings from 6:00 am to 7:30 am this fall for the first half of The Quest for Authentic Manhood.  We will then resume at the same time on Friday mornings in the spring.  We will once again be meeting at the Lamar Building at 5551 Corporate Blvd, Baton Rouge, 70808, and we appreciate Tommy Teepell providing such a great setting for us.

Year two guys will meet on Friday mornings from 6:00 am to 7:30 am this fall for the first portion of Winning at Work and Home.  These power-packed meetings will be at the Chapel in the Oaks at 3355 Dalrymple Dr, Baton Rouge, 70802, and while we welcome you to come back on Sunday mornings to worship with us, we will not put any pressure or expectation on you to do so.

The cost is only $20 for the year, which includes a workbook you will definitely want to keep.  Men’s Frat veterans, you will get a new workbook with your registration.  You never know what fresh encouragement, stories, and conviction the Lord might bring you this year!

We have some great Men’s Frat veterans returning this year, along with some new recruits, and we would love for you to join us and bring buddy with you.  Be prepared to face your life in a whole new way, work hard, be challenged, be encouraged, and be transformed in the process!
