Upcoming Events at Love First Christian Center

Men’s Stepping Up (August 9 – October 11, 2025)

Today, more than ever, the world needs godly men. Men who will step up and courageously lead at home, at church, at work, and in their communities. That’s the message of "Stepping Up." In a world where too many men are shrinking back, "Stepping Up" gives men vision and tools to live godly, courageous lives.

Men today are in a battle. It's a battle without bullets or bombs, but a battle all the same. It's a fight for our families and our future. Facing the battles of life demands courage and courage is the ability to do the hard thing in every circumstance, despite the cost.

In "Stepping Up," we call men to courageous manhood, offering a powerful vision for what it means to be a man today who truly conquers and wins in life. We define courage throughout the five stages of manhood and we commission men to honestly evaluate where they stand. Then, we prepare men to bravely master their life's purpose by developing a strategic plan and establishing a winning vision.

Register today and order your workbook if you are willing to take the challenge of Stepping Up!
