Men @ SCCC Thirroul
We believe that men everywhere want to live not only a good ife, but one of influence and impact. We also believe that this life is only achieved through an active and intimate relationship with Christ.
The Men's Ministry of South Coast City Church Thirroul is all about seeing men live out that kind of a life. We want to bring God and Men together as well as build strong connections between men. Mateship is the backbone of Australian society!
We have various events throughout the year, from golf days to breakfasts, that seek to not only build relationships, but also encourage you in your walk with Christ.

A vision of a man of God
There is much in our current world that has crushed the identity of manhood so that many men do not know their place and that is sad because men are needed now more than ever. I believe that the church is to be the breeding ground for real men to rise up in to all that they have been made and called to be. With that in mind I wrote the following. Peter Starr
The man of God is characterised by the following:
- Boldness… His character is not defined by weakness or fear or compromise. He is not happy to conform to the crowd or blend in for the sake of acceptance, but is willing to take a stand for what is right. In so doing blazes a trail for others to follow although he is not motivated by the cheer of the visible crowd.
- Wisdom….His decisions are not made because of the convenience of short term gain or from various pressures that would seek to force faulty decisions. Instead he is able to learn of others and is humble enough to admit to a mistake. He is a student of life and asks questions of others in the quest for more knowledge. He has learnt to think through an issue and take time to consider a bigger picture of life before committing himself to a firm and trusted decision.
- Morals…. He is consistent within himself. His mind is made up. He no longer wavers regarding his commitment to heaven. He knows how to worship and to pray is not content to abdicate this responsibility to women or youth. He walks tall in the midst of a crooked world. His actions speak louder than His words. He gives others an example to follow. He is a man. He is a leader.
- Maturity… He is known for his loyalty to others. He protects and takes the responsibility to provide for his family and friends. He is generous with his words and his possessions. His focus is outward and he is happy to serve others because he is secure with his own identity.
- Sexuality…. He is a man and is comfortable with his manhood including his sexuality yet he has learnt how to keep his desires under the control of His Heavenly Father. He is no longer a servant of these desires as he has risen up and taken the responsibility to control himself.
“Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.” (Phil.3)
