Our Purpose
Improve Family Life and the Local Community
Out of a deep desire to see men in the greater Ephrata area rise-up and embrace authentic manhood, Dove Westgate, Ephrata Church of the Nazarene and Ephrata Community Church joined efforts to bring Men's Fraternity to Ephrata. When men connect in life-changing ways, a powerful ripple effect touches families, workplaces, and the church.
Teaching Manhood to Men
Imagine the transforming power of men coming together within the community to honestly examine their lives and take the courageous steps necessary to embrace authentic manhood on a journey to become who God intends them to be. That is the purpose of Men's Fraternity.
Deeper connections with God and other men inspire participants to connect more meaningfully in all facets of their lives. They climb beyond the walls of isolation and aspire to a biblical viewpoint marked by integrity, boldness, and compassion.
Through this powerful series, men learn to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, and expect God's greater reward.
The True Power
The true power of Men's Fraternity lies in bringing men together on common ground to learn together and listen to each other. Bonds of true God-centered friendships are formed as men encourage each other week- by-week to more fully embrace a godly view of manhood.
Testimonial
"A year ago a friend of mine asked me to attend Men's Frat with him. Little did I know how much it would change my life. Having been raised in a Christian home I thought I knew what it took to be not just a man, but a man of God. I was wrong. Men's Frat not only forced me to become honest with God, but it forced me to become honest with myself. Because of the support of my frat brothers, I was able to tell my wife about my struggles with pornography that I had been hiding from her for over a year. I love my wife and I have a new found appreciation for her now. I don't take her for granted the way I use to and our marriage is maturing emotional and spiritually. This opportunity has been amazing. The bonds that are formed during the months at Men's Frat are irreplaceable. Gentlemen, I invite you to come and be a part of this life changing experience. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain." - Titus Z.
