Men's Ministry

The Men’s Ministry at SonRise is for all men.  We want you to come join us for lively events, routine bibles studies and great fellowship.  Today’s men need to rise up and become the Godly leaders we are all called to be.  Come join us as we explore together how we become the husbands, fathers, sons, friends and leaders God has designed us to be.  You will be among men who trek similar paths and are like minded.  Find the comfort and mentorship that we all need.
