LEAD.

LEAD THE CHARGE FOR BIBLE STUDY GROUPS, COMMUNITY EVENTS, AND WEEKEND RETREATS.

• Bible Study Groups
  The Connections Pastor is responsible for starting, leading, and equipping Bible study groups for men here in Austin and around the world.  Our FREE curriculum provides a turn-key solution for churches, ministries, and leaders to start a Bible study group for men . . . anytime, anywhere.  The primary way we build community is through our Bible study groups that gather at the table for a weekly lesson, discussion, application, and community.  Starting, leading, and equipping groups is about 80% of the Connections Pastor role.  Bible Study groups are the number one thing we do at MANUP.
  
  
• Community Events
  The Connections Pastor is responsible for planning, promoting, and leading our 2 annual community events to help men get connected with God and other men.  MANUP ATX is a city-wide BBQ and worship gathering for men in the summer, and the LEGACY DINNER is an evening of worship, celebration, and fund-raising in the fall. In addition to leading our ministry-wide events, the Connections Pastor will equip and empower campus leaders to lead localized events for the men of their campus.
  
  
• Weekend Retreats
  The Connections Pastor is responsible for planning, promoting, and leading our 2 annual weekend retreats to help men deepen their relationship with God and other men.  MANUP Texas is our 3 day spring intensive that includes worship, teaching, small group discussion, and recreational activities. Our annual Board Retreat in the winter is a time for strategic ministry planning for the year ahead and deeper connection as ministry leaders.
