Core Groups for Men

FMO (For Men Only) Sexual Integrity & Purity Group
Description: The Church has largely been silent on issues dealing with sexual integrity. We, at Flood, want to combat the secrecy and silence with a group that is only for guys and will deal specifically with sexual purity. If you are dealing with sexual sins and are stuck in a pattern of shame and guilt, then this group, led by a trained facilitator, is a great start! The Bible tells us to confess our sins to one another and bring our sins into the light, exposing the darkness to God's Truth!
Meeting Times: Starts Monday, September 22 (8 weeks) 7-9pm
Location: Flood Offices (3878 Ruffin Rd., Suite B, SD 92123)
