Men's Ministry

The Neighborhood Church Men’s Home Repair Ministry is a service provided by skilled workers for those who need a little extra help with home repair & maintenance.

We will provide free expertise and labor for single mothers, older folks, disabled persons and others who are unable to perform needed repairs in their homes. Here's how it works:

• Fill out a request form and turn in to the church office
• Skilled volunteers will come to the jobs with their own tools
• If financially able, the recipient will purchase in advance the needed parts and supplies for the repairs, along with funding the cost of a building permit (if needed)
• In special cases, the church may be able to help with funding repairs, if there is a demonstrated financial need
• Please note: Projects are intended to be in the nature of repairs and replacements. Remodeling and new construction will generally be beyond the scope of the Home Repair Ministry.

(Please note that we attempt to begin and complete projects as soon as we are able, but this is based on availability of qualified volunteers and the order projects are received. Thank you.)

It's a challenging time in American culture to be a man!

It's a thrilling time in American culture to be a man of God; free, Spirit filled, and "becoming" all God wants us to "become" as His sons.

One of the most awesome things in this life to experience is when men come together who are free in Christ, living the life we were intended to live, and enjoying our families, jobs, various callings and gifts as we build the Kingdom of God together. None of us are completely there or "done yet," but that's what we are all striving to be; free in Christ, purposed in life and at the end of the race, wanting to hear those beautiful words from the Father - well done, good and faithful servant!

• DAWN PATROL. Men acting like "men" studying the Bible together, praying together, encouraging one another, eating and laughing together at 6 AM every Wednesday morning at Peet's in Castro Valley (summer schedule).
