The Summit Woods Ironmen ministry seeks to provide discipleship for men in our congregation to be biblically faithful to their responsibilities personally, with their families, in the church, at work, and in their communities; involving men in discipling other men within the church and evangelistically.
Below you will find resources to assist you:
MEN OF THE WORD: DEVELOPING MEN TO KNOW AND LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD’S WORD
Meeting on Tuesday mornings from 6:00 am-7:30 am, this is an opportunity for men to come together and think through biblical truth and how it intersects with practical living with an aim to equip men to be leaders in the contexts God has called them
See the Men of the Word event page for more information about schedule, long range plans and the reading schedule.
IRONMEN Gathering Schedule
Ironmen Gatherings are opportunities for our men to gather for fellowship, share a meal, sing, hear the preached Word of God in allignemnt with our theme, listen to a testimony shared by one of our members, and observe a discussion panel facilitated by our Men's Ministry Leadership Team. In 2025 the quarterly ironmen gatherings will be on January 24th (Ironmen Summit in Emporia, KS), April 11th, July 25th, and October 17th. This year we are focuing in on the second command of our theme verse (1 Corinthians 16:13-14) which is to "stand firm in the faith." Register for the October 17th Ironmen gathering here.
Registration for the 2026 Ironmen Summit is full. It will be on January 24th, 2026. If you would like to ride in the vans or be added to the SWBC waitlist in the event a ticket becomes availble, contact campbell@swbcls.org.
