Ministries PROMISE KEEPERS A Non-Denominational Ministry for Men Something is happening to the men of America . They're changing. They're looking for more out of life than mediocre relationships and daily ruts. And they're finding it by becoming Promise Keepers --- men of their word and men of God's Word. The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper hold the keys to unlocking the power and potential of men. The Seven Promises show men how to cultivate deep, life-changing relationships with their wives, their children, their friends, their churches and their Lord. Promise Keepers is for any man who wants to: Know his creator better; Be closer to his wife and children; Tear down the walls of division; See the entire world come to know God's love.
Men will discover how to deepen their devotion to Christ through consistent worship, prayer, and obedience. You will understand how a commitment to integrity results in spiritual, moral, ethical, and sexual purity.
You will learn how to be a better husband, father, and friend.
And by following the seven foundational principles, you will see God work in ways you never thought possible.
Our nation and our communities are suffering from a severe shortage of men of integrity. It needs men willing to stand strong in the midst of moral chaos. It needs men willing to reach beyond racial and denominational barriers. It needs men willing to cement their commitments and become Promise Keepers.
The Purpose Statement of Promise Keepers is simple. --- Promise Keepers is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to uniting men through vital relationships to become godly influences in their world.
Promise Keepers believe that Christian growth starts by making some promises --- promises we intend to keep. Our seven promises are meant to guide us toward the life of Christ, so that he might transform us from the inside out. We understand this is a process and that only through the grace and strength of the Holy Spirit can we become more like God's Son, Jesus Christ, and be a godly influence in our relationships and world.
The Seven Promises of a Promises Keeper:
A promise keeper is committed to honor Jesus Christ through worship, prayer, and obedience to God's Word, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
A promise keeper is committed to pursue vital relationships with a few other men, understanding that he needs brothers to help him keep his promises. A promise keeper is committed to practice spiritual, moral, ethical, and sexual purity.
A promise keeper is committed to building a strong marriage and family through love, protection, and biblical values
A promise keeper is committed to support the mission of his church by honoring and praying for his Pastor and by actively giving his time and resources.
A promise keeper is committed to reach beyond any racial and denominational barriers to demonstrate the power of biblical unity.
A promise keeper is committed to influence his world , being obedient to the Great Commandment (Mark 12:30-31) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).
The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper are principles that are powerful and life-changing. As you share this vision of becoming men of integrity, you will sharpen each other through mutual accountability and meaningful interaction as brothers.
And together, we will change the face of our community.

THE BEAR MINISTRY The
church pews have Bears and Bear Wanna-Be's sitting in them. People
of the church brought these stuffed Bears and Bear Wanna-Be's
(those are cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.) to the Bear Ranger, who
ties tags on the toy animals, and places them around the Sanctuary.
The tag says the Bear has been among the congregation of First
United Methodist Church of Onalaska, Onalaska , TX . It has heard
the Word read, prayers prayed, songs of praise sung and the sermon
preached. It has been given love and loved others. Now it comes
to you with the blessings of worship and God's love. People take
and send Bears and Bear Wanna-be's to family, friends and strangers
who need to know the Church is praying for them and that God loves
them.
Meets in the sanctuary at 10:00 am on the first Tuesday of
