  • Who is hosting this event?
    • This event is being hosted by the Roots Family Ministry Team, which is made up of members of the Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren. The Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren is an Anabaptist church located in the Southern End of Lancaster County. We seek to glorify God through worshiping him together and nurturing the body of Christ. We are dedicated to sharing the good news of Jesus and his coming kingdom through words, deeds, and actions. We're part of a larger denomination known as the Church of the Brethren. Together as a denomination we strive to “Continue the work of Jesus. Peacefully. Simply. Together."
  • What can I expect at this event?
    • The Next Man Up event at Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren will be a 3 hour event that will include worship time, fellowship, outdoor “target practice” activities and a meal. We will look at the life of David and how we face the giants in our own lives. 
      • The group will start together, all generations combined. Then the adult guys will continue the conversation with their speaker while the 1st-6th grade guys are dismissed to an age-specific event. The group will join back together for the outdoor activities and meal.
  • Is the adult male required to be with the boy (1st-6th) for the duration of the event?
    • Yes - our vision for this event is to provide a meaningful time to be shared between the young and adult guys attending. The only exception is if the adult man would like to participate in the adult only session during the event. 
  • Will a meal be served?
    • Yes! We will provide refreshments mid-way through the event. An outdoor dinner will be provided for all participants as well. 
  • Do I need to bring anything?
    • No, but we encourage you to bring your Bible! (It is not required!)
  • What is the cost?
    • This event is free. We are inviting attendees to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Solanco Food Bank. 
  • Is this only for Mechanic Grove members?
    • No! This event is open to the community!
  • What is the age suggestion for this event?
    • This event is for all of God’s guys, young and old! 1st graders to 100 year olds are welcome to join us! 1st-6th grade guys need to be accompanied with an adult male.
