Crossroads Men’s Ministry, Guardians, aims to equip and empower men for a life of discipleship, evangelism and worship in the family, church, workplace, and community through Godly encouragement, inspiration, character-building and service opportunities.
Attention All Men, 13+:

Join us with hundreds of men for a great day on Saturday, October 24th, 8:00pm-4:00pm and let’s be as iron sharpens iron to one another. Now is the time, men.
For one Saturday, men from across WNY come together to experience biblical teaching and equipping for all areas of life. With two keynote sessions, 16 seminar options, and a host of ministries with resources, men of all ages (13 and older) find relevant and practical ways to equip them for godly living.
