NEXT MEN’S EVENT: Monday, January 8, at 6pm: Card Games and Cribbage Tournament

· TRIADS: As Christians we have been commanded to love,  encourage, admonish, weep with, and confess sins to one another. At times, this can only be done within the confines of safe and trusted friendships. Triads exist as a means for a group of three  men to meet and communicate regularly for the purpose of building these Christ-centered friendships.

Retreat: Annually (Spring)  CVBC Men are given the opportunity to spend 2 days together at a local camp for the purpose of encouraging one another’s faith
