We believe that "iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17). Guys help other guys become more faithful followers of Jesus. Together, we encourage, we learn from one another, we talk through life's struggles, and, ultimately, we strive to become better husbands, dads, coworkers, neighbors, and leaders in our community.
HCL creates all kinds of opportunities for guys to get connected. We offer activity-based meet up groups, hang out nights at local establishments, small group Bible Studies, and more. Check out these current ways to jump in!

Saturday, November 2 (8:30 - 10:30 am)
Guys, this is a morning you won’t want to miss! The HCL Fellowship Hall will be full of men eating breakfast together, connecting with one another, and being inspired to live as men of God! We’ll be joined by speakers, Steve “The Homer” True (Longtime Radio Host, ESPN) and Tom Pipines (Former Sports Anchor, Fox 6) … two guys who can’t wait to share how to carry your faith into your home, workplace, or anywhere God leads you!
The event is FREE and open to any guy you know … so invite, invite, invite! Even bring your son or nephew—middle school and up would be just the right age. Just make sure to RSVP so we know how many eggs to scramble.
