Our Men’s Ministry is dedicated to providing men with opportunities to make a difference and connect with one another. We believe the age-old proverb that says, As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17) Verde has developed a wide variety of groups for men of all life stages because every man matters.
Our desire is for men to experience the adventure of a relationship with Jesus and with other men exploring what it means to be a man created in God's image. Throughout the year, our guys come together for adventure, hiking, growth groups, bible studies, men's breakfasts, and an annual men's summit. Because we believe men want to make a difference, we have mission and community projects where we use our tools and get our hands dirty.
If you are interested in getting connected and growing with others, we invite you to join us. For more information, contact the church office or call 928.634.3645.
Our vision at Verde is to have everyone in our church involved in a Small Group.
Here at Verde, Small Groups are made up of 8 – 14 people just like you. They’re the place where the real ministry of the church takes place as we study God’s Word, encourage one another and share life together.
Small Groups are led by trained leaders and meet on various days of the week on campus, in our community and, most often, in homes throughout the Verde Valley. An average meeting includes refreshments and lasts for an hour and a half. We have fall and spring semester small groups that last 10 weeks. At the end of each session, you will have the choice of staying in the same group, trying a new group or even taking a break. During the summer months, most small groups take a break.
Most groups are sermon-based where you get to roll up your sleeves and discuss how Sunday’s sermon works in real life. Some are special interest groups focusing on topics such as parenting, marriage, healthy living and Christian basics for new believers.
SUMMER SMALL GROUPS: MID-JUNE THROUGH JULY.
FALL SEMESTER SMALL GROUPS: SEPTEMBER THROUGH MID-NOVEMBER.
SPRING SEMESTER SMALL GROUPS: MID-JANUARY THROUGH MARCH

Welcome our new Student Pastor Colby Freeman and his wife Savannah!
Colby is from a small town directly south of Atlanta, Georgia. While he has spent the majority of his life in the southeastern region of the United States, the thought of living in Arizona came with little hesitation.

He graduated from Point University (formerly known as Atlanta Christian College) in May of 2018 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biblical Studies & Preaching. He also received his Master’s Degree in Strategic Ministry in May of 2019 from Point and was a part of a prestigious residential program at Christ’s Church of the Valley in Phoenix, Arizona.
