"What the Men’s Fellowship Means To Me"
The first CDC United States laboratory confirmed case of COVID -19 was reported around January 20, 2020. Soon after, COVID -19 was considered a pandemic. Consequently, over 100,000 establishments were temporarily shut down; such was the case with most organized church buildings. Parishioners from across the world were unable to come together for fellowship as they had been accustomed to for decades. Deliverance Evangelistic Church was one of the churches which had been significantly impacted. As a result, alternative means of fellowship had to be implemented. The DEC Men’s Fellowship began offering alternatives that have been very effective. The Men’s Fellowship Saturdays Zoom session is an alternative that has profoundly affected my life.
It’s beneficial for men to have discussions pertaining topics that impact men in general. The Men’s Fellowship, through the Saturdays zoom session, is important to me because it provides me the opportunity to hear, and provide feedback from a biblical perspective. Every Saturday that I tap into the zoom sessions I receive insight that encourages me, challenges me, and have me to take inventory of myself. Ephesians 4:13 (KJV) states, “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
Another reason the Men’s Fellowship is important to me is because by the transparency of some of the participants I am reminded that we all are a work-in-progress, projects that are underway, but not yet complete. God is still working on us all, and that we won’t be complete until we reach Glory. However, we are to occupy until Jesus come. Iron sharpens iron. There is a spiritual and mental sharpness that comes from being around the right people. By being in fellowship with men of DEC Men’s Fellowship I am stimulated to yield to the Lord that He will make me all that He would have me to be.

Mission Statement
The Men’s Fellowship of Deliverance Evangelistic Church is committed to becoming and creating disciples of Jesus Christ, both inside and outside of our church. With this goal in mind, our ministry strives to amplify the Christian goals of our church through service, fellowship and spiritual growth by sponsoring inspirational programs to motivate our men to become Godly influences in their home, workplace, church and community.
Purpose
Our purpose is to encourage, uplift, inform and enjoy this Christian journey together. Just as "iron sharpens iron" the Men's Fellowship is designed to help us be all that we are purposed/called to be in God's kingdom. We pray that you will find this fellowship instrumental (and at the very least, helpful) in your Christian maturity and development.
