MEN'S FELLOWSHIP DINNER
Tuesday, April 28, 6:30 PM
What can a preacher from the 1700s teach us about living boldly today? More than you might think.
Church of the Servant invites all men to join us for an evening of great food, meaningful conversation, and inspiring history at our upcoming Men’s Dinner.
You may recognize the name John Wesley, but the man behind the Methodist movement was far more remarkable than most people realize. Wesley was a tireless traveler, a bold street preacher, and a passionate reformer who helped ignite one of the most influential spiritual movements in Christian history. His life was marked by deep faith, relentless dedication, and a refusal to settle for an ordinary Christian life. At this special gathering, Rev. Dr. Derrek Belase will bring Wesley’s story to life in a way that is both historically rich and personally relevant for our faith today. Read more information about Rev. Belase at ServantOKC.org/men. Whether you have been part of Church of the Servant for decades or you’re newer to the community, this will be a meaningful evening to connect with other men while exploring the roots of our faith. Registration Deadline: Tuesday, April 21. REGISTER HERE.
