Men's Ministry
"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, let all that you do be done in love.”
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Vision
The men’s ministry of Cloverdale Baptist Church is called “Men of the Covenant”. The vision of the Men of the Covenant at CBC is three fold:
Redirect, Retrain, and Restore.
- Redirect men towards the right purpose and pathway.
- Retrain men on what the bible teaches about God’s original plan for man.
- Restore what was lost in Eden: purpose, pathway, responsibility, respect and relationship.
Purpose
We want our families, our church and our communities, in this generation and the next, to be led by strong, able, Christ-like men. We believe building men of character and conviction is one of the highest priorities in the mission of the church. Will do that by providing sound biblical teaching, facilitating opportunities where relationships can be started, renewed or restored and by spurring men to continually renew their minds.
The Men of the Covenant ministry has the following teaching events tailored especially for men to help us focus on equipping men to “act like men.”
Men of the Covenant Bible Study
Starting September 16, 2024, every other Monday 6:30-8:30pm in room 246, we’ll be studying the book of James.
Registration is free, but $10 will be collected at the study for cover the cost of the book. We offer sponsorship so please let us know if cost is a hurdle.

Men’s Breakfast
1. We’ll retrace God’s original mandate for man as it was laid out in Genesis 2. Then stop at Genesis 3 when sin entered the world and how it disfigured God’s mandate for man and how we’ll need to redirect men towards the correct purpose, pathway and plan.
2. Carefully examine the effects of sin on man and how man in his corrupted state made a mess of his role all through the centuries. Which is what we’re seeing and reaping now.
3. We’ll break up 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 into 5 segments covering 5 consecutive months; unpacking these two verses and how they relate to us as men. What does it mean to “be watchful, stand firm in the faith [touch on the effects of culture on men]….in light of our roles as men.

Note from speaker: during the presentation, I inadvertently referred to the conception of Jesus by the Holy Spirit as the Immaculate Conception. This was not the correct terminology. My intention was to highlight the virgin birth of Jesus, who was born without a sin nature passed on through the father lineage from Adam. Thank you for your grace. - Dan Radke
We lost many things in Eden, three of which are respect, relationship and responsibility. For the month of April we’ll cover these three topics and how can we restore these to a watching world. Lastly, moving forward as God’s image bearers, in the month of May we’ll recapture what we have been learning in the last 8 months and we’ll leave you with the most important takeaways from our studies.
The idea for the breakfast is group teaching followed by table talks facilitated by table leaders discussing on a smaller scale what was taught in the form of questions and answers. Then the speaker will be back up answering any questions stemming from the table talks.
