Men of the Outdoors

The Men of the Outdoors is a group tailored for men who are enthusiastic about outdoor activities. It is not an organization or club, and there are no regular meetings or membership fees. Instead, we organize outdoor events and seek to spread the Good News of the Gospel. Our mission and vision statements serve as our guiding principles.

Our Aim

We want to bring together men who share a love for the outdoors through hosting outdoor-related events, while also sharing the Word of God and demonstrating Christian love to everyone. By participating in outdoor activities, men have the opportunity to bond over shared interests and share their experiences. Additionally, hearing the Word of God at these events helps men to grow spiritually. We strive to create an environment that fosters fellowship, idea-sharing, and open conversation about our outdoor pursuits.

Annual Sportsmen’s Breakfast

We had an amazing time at our Sixth Annual Sportsmen’s Breakfast! We hosted various break-out sessions, connected with local vendors, savored a delicious breakfast, and were inspired by our keynote speaker’s passion for God and the outdoors. Our keynote speaker was Alaska resident and avid outdoorsman, WELS Pastor Chris Ewings. We had a blast hosting enthusiastic men, women, and kids who share a love for the great outdoors.

Mark your calendars for our Seventh Annual Sportsmen’s Breakfast on Saturday, March 1, 2025. Don’t miss out – it’s going to be fantastic!
