Edifying Since 1981
In the Autumn of 1981, Pastor Dick Dewsnap, along with 5 other men, determined to meet regularly to sharpen
and encourage one another. The next Spring, March 1982, they invited regional Village Missions church men to Ocean Park for an overnight
retreat. That was launch of a ministry that continues to this day. Each week men assemble for breakfast, fellowship, worship and Bible
ministry. Rain or shine, Tuesday or holiday, they gather for edification and encouragement; there are periodic service opportunities,
when we give our time, talent and treasure that others may see good work and glorify our Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).
Men of The Cross meet each Tuesday morning at 7:00 a.m. for a breakfast fellowship, Bible study and discussion of service requests.
Men are also invited to participate in studying "Exile And Return: A Time To Rebuild," through Bible Study Fellowship. This Bible study is free (materials are provided onliine), but preregistration is required; please contact the church for more information. The women are participating in this study on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 a.m.
