The men of First Presbyterian enjoy a variety of ministry and service opportunities together. We meet in various groups throughout the year, eat together, fellowship in one another’s homes, travel, study God’s Word, and serve our neighbors. It is our desire to equip men to live as followers of Christ in the home, workplace, and community.
Please contact Darin Travis (darin@fpcbr.org) to become involved.

This Bible study has been a robust group for a long time. Always well attended, this group of 60 to 70-something men has logged decades together, and it shows. Though very tight-knit, they’re always welcoming and eager for new men to join. Barry Phillips leads this group.
