Men of Mariners exists to inspire men to follow Jesus and fearlessly change the world.
Men’s Life Groups
At Mariners, we believe that real connection and growth happen in smaller communities. Rooted is the best place to begin your journey. If you haven’t gone through Rooted yet, now’s your chance! Rooted is a 10-week small group experience designed to help you connect deeply with God, the church, and your purpose. In a group of 10-15 people from all walks of life, you’ll explore the Bible, engage in prayer, serve others, share your story, and develop spiritual rhythms that lead to lasting transformation.
