IRONMEN
PeachtreeChurch.org/IRONMEN At IRONMEN, Peachtree’s men’s ministry, we have a simple purpose— to encourage and equip men to become a positive impact for Jesus at home, at work, and in the community. God’s Word clearly demonstrates that He did not intend for us to live independently, but interdependently by connecting with one another. IRONMEN meets on Tuesday mornings from 7:00–8:00 am in the Summit. Many men come early and get a coffee or other beveraget and something to eat in the Lodge Café. The format is a 20-minute talk followed by small group discussions facilitated by trained table leaders. It is real men talking about real issues and looking for Biblical solutions.
