Ministry to Men

Welcome to our Ministry to Men

The purpose of the Cedar Crest BFC Ministry to Men is to create a culture of male oriented discipleship. Where men are encouraged, challenged and equipped to live Christ centered, biblically grounded lives that positively affect all areas of their lives. 

We provide opportunities for men to get together and build into one another’s lives. Bible Studies, hiking trips, wing nights, breakfast, scrapbooking – well maybe not scrapbooking – but there are many activities available for the men of Cedar Crest.

Discipleship on the Trail

Discipleship on the Trail (DOTT) is a yearly backpacking trip with a group of men from Cedar Crest and other churches. If you enjoy hiking and camping, consider joining them for fellowship and teaching out in God’s creation!

This year’s trip is June 25-28, 2026.


PRACTICE HIKE
The practice hike will be April 18 at the Pulpit/Pinnacle. It is required for all first-year participants and recommended for all others. Please bring your pack with at least 30 pounds, snacks, and lunch.

We will aim to depart from the trailhead at 7:30am and be back to the lot by 11:30am.
400 Reservoir Rd Hamburg, PA 19526.

Mentorship

As men who seek to become more mature disciples of Jesus Christ, we should be sharpening one another through one-on-one relationships. One practical way of doing this is mentorship.
 
Sign up to become a mentor or mentee. (P.S. You can do both!)
