PASTOR/DEACON COMMENT
In all the church growth resources I have studied over the years, a vibrant men’s ministry apparently is important for a church to grow. It seems that when men come to faith and attend church, their families do as well. The statistics are amazing! This has been a challenge for Northside over many years. And so it was a real joy to see Doulos start and thrive. A strong men’s ministry will create a strong church. We have witnessed Doulos already serving the church, caring for the men, and now starting to mentor the next generation. It is my prayer that this ministry remains and continues to grow, as it will greatly benefit the church. Pastor Gary
