What It Takes To Be A ManThe PLMC Men’s Ministry (MM) exists as a community to live out Godly male lives for the best of our families. We meet on alternate Saturday mornings to listen and learn through video sessions from Men’s Fraternity by Pastor Robert Lewis in 3 different series for men of differing needs ranging from Basic Manhood Foundations to Being A Winner At Work And Home, and going beyond to The Great Adventure.

Besides the classroom sessions, we have interest groups like Bowling, Cycling, Golfing, and Choir groups to allow men and their families to participate in. These groups will also be arms by which MM reaches out to the community through church events and activities like Christmas, Anniversary and others. We hold our annual retreat in September. Our alumni size is currently about 260 strong, with men ranging from 24 to 60+. We thank God for blessing this group of men. To find out more, please visit the MM booth at the Fellowship Hall today, 18 Nov.
