Guardians
On the first Sunday of the month, we gather all of the men for an heads-of-households meeting from 1:30 -3:00PM in the library following our Fellowship Lunch. This is not your "typical" men's group, but rather a time of deeper discussion, challenge and accountability. The time is typically divided into three segments.
Information
The first 15-20 minutes of Guardians is used for the elders to communicate any decisions that have been made by the session of CVP, any changes that are coming, or any other general information that the men of the church need to know. The men are also encouraged to bring their own concerns at this time.
Teaching/Discussion
We are teaching and discussing "The Qualifications of an Elder." These topics are not just requirements for men seeking leadership, but excellent goals for any Christian man. Although the majority of the time is spent in teaching, the discussion is typically very open and honest. We begin discussion in a larger open-floor format, allowing for discussion on the practical aspects of the topic. This practical discussion is then broken down even more as men share in their elder led accountability groups.
Accountability
Lastly, we separate into prayer groups led by one of the elders. It is an opportunity for each man to discuss the practical implications of the topic and to seek the accountability of others and to pray diligently for the needs of the families in the church.
