Covenant Fellowship’s Men’s Ministry has an established mentorship program and it starts up again this fall. Why is this important? Why discuss men’s mentorship?

Some have asked the question, “Why should we read scripture together? It’s hard, confusing, and written in an odd way.” Or have said, “I don’t feel like I ever get anything out of reading the bible. Every time I read it I’m left thinking, ‘What did I just read?’. ” Though I’ve had similar experiences in the past, I think it’s important that we start with what the bible says about itself. 

The church is the loveliest place on earth. Is it flawed? Yes. Sure, the building’s AC unit never seems to work, and it probably smells like water damage. But the sheep who make up the church are lovely as they cling to grace in faith despite sin. Do they sometimes bite? You bet. But they are the people on whom Christ has set his affections, promises, and presence. The church is the loveliest place on earth, and the church is the essential location for Christian growth.
