A practical path for men in Berks and Schuylkill County
A lot of men know something needs to change, but they do not know where to start.
They feel the pressure at home, at work, in their faith, and in the responsibilities they carry every day. Good intentions are not enough. Men need direction, accountability, and other men who will help them take action.
That is why Men of Iron is growing in Berks and Schuylkill County.
Through mentorship, group-based discipleship, retreats, and local partnerships, Men of Iron helps men build a better plan for life and become the leaders God has called them to be.
