Join Jerry Hancock and others as they lead this group of men as they learn about themselves and share their ideas about the joys and challenges of being an adult male.  This class strives to: reduce the isolation many men feel as they wrestle with concerns of career, money, sex, relationships, and other issues; facilitate the process of establishing themselves as the spiritual co-leader of their family; and create a safe environment in which to examine their lives in light of Christ's teaching and its implications for their lives.  This class is taught several times a year.  See www.meninbalance.org or watch The Dove for details of the next class.
