The newest, biggest, and best always promises to bring value, status, and joy to our lives. But the Bible teaches us another way – a countercultural way of thinking about money and giving. God has given us everything and owns all we have, so we are generous with our money in giving. Psalm 24:1; Psalm 50:10-12 The Bible teaches us to steward what he has entrusted us with to further his kingdom. Matthew 25:14-30 We give consistently and systematically, honoring God first before fulfilling our other financial obligations. Genesis 4:3–5 The Bible teaches we give compassionately: we give as modeled for us by Jesus, dying in our place. 2 Corinthians 8:9 We give proportionally, recognizing that the tithe (10 percent) as the long-established minimum in Scripture. The Bible teaches us to test God in generosity. Malachi 3:10–11; 2 Corinthians 9:11 If Cedarbrook is your spiritual home, support it financially because God uses our church to bless us, those in our community, and our brothers in sisters in Christ all over the world through your generosity in giving. Every dollar given to us is used for every endeavor God calls us to. We thank you for your generosity!

Proverbs 27:17 To enable men to connect with one another, grow in their relationship with Jesus, and make a difference in the world they live in.

THE IRON MEN CHALLENGE Transform Your Well-being: Beyond Awareness to Lasting Change Many men recognize the need for growth in their physical, relational, mental, and spiritual health, yet true transformation often remains elusive. Traditional avenues like the gym, self help, therapy, church services, Bible studies, and podcasts, while valuable, frequently fall short of producing lasting change. The missing piece? A supportive community that helps men bridge the gap between their aspirations and reality. On the 3rd Monday of each month, we have an Iron Men Connect Night offering live teaching and roundtable discussions focused on Biblical Manhood, fostering growth in Christ's character. Complementing this, are weekly challenges providing exercises that grow you physically, mentally, relationally, and spiritually. And for even deeper accountability and community, we offer Life Groups that meet at the church on Tuesdays. It's time to move beyond knowing what to do and start living it. IRON MEN MONTHLY CHALLENGE Iron Men Outdoors is a faith-driven community of men bonded by their love for nature and a shared spiritual journey. Through outdoor adventures like camping, hiking, and kayaking, they form strong connections while finding solace and spiritual growth in the beauty of the natural world. It's a brotherhood that combines faith and the great outdoors to inspire and empower men for fulfilling lives. Join us for one of our monthly events.
