Men at Houston’s First

Our Mission

In a world that pulls men in every direction, we pursue a better path —the one marked by truth, character, and brotherhood. We believe every man is called to live with courage, to walk in integrity, to speak truth, to honor his commitments, and to serve with purpose.

At Houston’s First, our Men’s Ministry — Band of Brothers — exists to forge that kind of man. Through God’s Word, authentic community, and opportunities to lead and serve, we are becoming more than just good men — we are becoming godly men who reflect the image of Christ in every sphere of life.

Discipleship Essentials

Downtown

Men's Study - Discipleship Essentials Book 2 - Deepening Your Roots in God's Family _Discipleship Essentials (DE)_ is a discipleship training curriculum based on the Navigator's 2:7 study. The study is based on the scripture reference Colossians 2:7, which encourages us to be rooted and built up in Christ, established in the faith and overflowing with gratitude. Dig into Scripture to deepen your relationships with God and others. Watch the seeds of prayer and evangelism begin to take root in you with this Bible study guide. You'll nurture these spiritual disciplines in your daily life as you work through the Bible studies and training materials in Deepening Your Roots in God's Family. Combined with the skills you learned in book one of The 2:7 Series, you'll see prayer and evangelism begin to bear fruit for you and the relationships in your life as you mature in Christ and learn to share your personal testimony. __Note:__ DE is a 10‐week commitment, and will meet through Wed, Nov 19. There is a workbook for this course, and can expect to spend approximately 1 hour each week on homework for each meeting. If you know in advance that you will miss more than two meetings, please take the course another semester.

Frequently Asked Questions

Band of Brothers is dedicated to “transforming men into the image of Jesus Christ.” We strive to accomplish this by offering a variety of entry points and opportunities for men to grow spiritually, physically, and relationally with other men—and to engage in various levels of service at Houston’s First, in the community, and around the world.

We offer several weekly Bible studies including our early Men’s Morning Study at The Loop, which includes live teaching, table group discussion, and strong accountability. Additional studies and groups meet throughout the week across Houston.

The Mentoring Ministry connects men seeking spiritual guidance with mature Christian men who walk alongside them in intentional discipleship. Whether you want to be mentored or serve as a mentor, we’ll help match you with the right person and provide support along the way.

Men:Serve is a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground team of men who meet practical needs for the widows of Houston’s First. We deploy across Houston to tackle yard work, household repairs and updates to make life a little more comfortable. It’s a chance to serve shoulder-to-shoulder with other men and be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Not at all. Most men come here looking for something real. Whether you’re joining a Bible study, a Grow Group, or a service project, we keep it honest, focused, and grounded in purpose—not fluff.

Any man over the age of 18 is welcome, regardless of church membership status. Many men get connected through Band of Brothers before ever becoming members of Houston’s First. You’re welcome to join us at any study, event, or service opportunity regardless of your membership status.

We can help you find your fit—whether that’s a Bible study, a small group, the Mentoring Ministry, or your first Men:Serve project. Just connect with us in person or through our contact form and we’ll help you take the next step.
