Men’s Discipleship Group (Ephesians)
2025-10-29 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Woodcrest, 17421 Van Buren Blvd, Riverside, CA, 92504, United States
Hi, I’m Travis Gilbert.
This group is for men who want to grow in faith, accountability, and brotherhood. Together we’ll study the book of Ephesians, exploring what it means to live with purpose, unity, and strength in Christ. We believe that comfort and complacency are silent enemies and that it takes discipline to truly be a disciple.
In our group, we build real relationships and have honest conversations that help us follow Jesus in everyday life. Come ready to be sharpened, encouraged, and equipped to stand firm and face life’s battles together.

Hi, we’re Maritza and Dan Grissom!
We’re so excited to be leading this Discipleship group! Together, we’ll study Romans and do our best to be obedient to the Lord’s Great Commission. Our prayer for this group is that we would all grow closer to the Lord, to our spouse, and to one another.

We can’t wait to meet you!
