About the Frontliners

The Frontliners are wholly committed to being a relevant ministry that speaks with real-talk authenticity to the everyday challenges we face – at home, work and in life.

WE’RE MEN ON A MISSION to encourage, equip and empower men to overcome everyday obstacles of life by putting their faith in practice following the example of Christ, serving the greater good of the EBC community of faith and beyond. We serve as our brother’s keepers on “the frontline where the fighting is the fiercest” providing relevant, practical tools, answering the call to become men of God – husbands, friends, co-workers, employers and partners – we have been saved-to-serve with patience and understanding, regardless of our socio-economic, education, cultural, age or circumstantial differences. We are Frontliners.

WITH A FAITHFUL VISION to service as a Christian brotherhood of accountable, responsible men practicing faithful stewardship, demonstrating God-appointed leadership and living transformed sacrificial lives in Christ. Using our unique, God-given talents and gifts, we’re reaching out to the poor in wealth, health or spirit, following in the footsteps of Christ, picking up those who fall and stumble, including ourselves, with humble hearts – standing and manning up in life through Christ. We are Frontliners.
