Come by to attend a program called
“A Qwest for Authentic Manhood” where men of all ages learn what it is to be a man, a son, a friend, a worker, a father
and a husband. Come join other men on this program that is sweeping
the nation and touching the hearts of men, and changing family’s one
man at a time.
Level I
The Quest for Authentic Manhood is the foundational level or ground floor of manhood. This 24-session study focuses on a man's core identity and gives an overview of basic manhood issues. It will help men deal with various identity issues by looking back at past wounds and other things that may have distorted their idea of biblical masculinity. <more>
Level II
Winning at Work & Home, a 16-session study, focuses on the two areas that are central to a man's life: career and family. It will begin to build the walls of manhood through study dealing with a man's chief responsibilities. It explores how a man can enjoy and engage his work and how he can relate to a woman in a whole new way.

Level III
The Great Adventure explores a man and his world beyond the everyday.
The 20-session study puts the roof on the house of masculinity and creates a vision for a man's future and destiny. <more>
