Men's Bible Studies
Men’s Tuesday Evening Bible Study
"Built Different: Becoming Men Who Don't Fold" is a 12-week Bible study for men who want more than surface-level faith. We’ll look at men in Scripture who faced fear, temptation, failure, pressure, and responsibility—and see how God formed them into men of courage, integrity, humility, and endurance.
This is not about pretending to be tough or having it all together. It is about becoming rooted in Christ, honest about struggles, strong in conviction, and ready to serve and lead faithfully. 12 weeks. Real struggles. Stronger together. Deeper faith.
Led By: Brian Valentine
When: Tuesdays, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
September 1 - November 17
Where: Room 104 at Living Water Community Church
Men’s Wednesday Morning Bible Study
True faith produces visible fruit in the way we live, work, speak, endure hardship, and relate to others. In this 12-week men’s study, Francis Chan walks verse by verse through the book of James, challenging us to move beyond simply knowing God’s Word to actively living it. Together, we will examine what it means to develop a strong, authentic faith that shapes every area of a man’s life.
Led By: Mike Leonzo
When: Wednesdays, 6:15 AM - 7:15 AM
September 2 - November 18
Where: Living Water Community Church, Main Building, Upper Lobby
Men’s Saturday Morning Bible Study
Join us for an engaging Bible study as we explore Romans and 1, 2 and 3 John. Whether you’re new to the Bible or have studied it before, you’ll find fresh insight and inspiration as we discover how the gospel transforms lives, how genuine faith is lived out, and how God’s promises give us confidence and hope.
Led By: Steve Bateman

Monthly
Field Brief
What Is a Monthly Field Brief?
A Monthly Field Brief is a short, practical message written as field notes from men who have walked the road of faith to other men who are still walking it.
The idea is to pass on wisdom steeped in experience from those who have gone ahead. Each monthly brief focuses on one essential aspect of following Christ as a man: prayer, discernment, leadership, brotherhood, or endurance. The goal is to translate biblical truth into clear, actionable guidance for everyday life.
These are not theoretical teachings or long studies, but concise direction from those with experience meant to be read, reflected on, and applied as men engage their families, their work, and their spiritual responsibilities. The goal is simple: help men stand firm, move with purpose, and live faithfully in the real battles of daily life.

Men of Valor Fires
Do men need another group study?
Nope.
Men need authentic friendship. Men need God.
Men need stories of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
Men need laughter.
Men need permission to be and become men.
And men need each other.
That’s why Men of Valor Fires was born.
What are Men of Valor Fires?
They are authentic, recurring gatherings where men experience God through the stories of other men. All around a fire.
The Fires exist to foster masculine, God-centered, story-shaped connections. For millennia, men have gathered around flames to share stories, laughter, and moments of masculine initiation.
The 2nd Friday Fires will be from 7-9 PM, meeting in the Paxtonia area. For more information regarding the 2nd Friday fires, including the address, please get in touch with Chad Barber.
The 4th Saturday Fires will be from 7-9 PM, meeting in the Susquehanna Township area. For more information regarding the 4th Saturday fires, including the address, please get in touch with Dave Todoroff.

The morning will also feature a heartfelt message from Pastor Mike’s longtime friend and accountability partner, Scott Romberger, who will share words of encouragement and appreciation. All men are invited to enjoy a great breakfast, meaningful fellowship, and this unique opportunity to honor a pastor who has faithfully served our church family for more than two decades.
