The Front Porch is a monthly gathering for men who want to connect, grow, and become the kind of men God is calling us to be.

We get together on the first Sunday of each month at Connect Coffee on the Visalia campus for good food, honest conversation, plenty of laughs, and Jesus-centered content that challenges us to actually live what we’re learning.

No pressure. No pretending. Just show up, be real, and bring a dude.

Sometimes you need more than a monthly gathering. The Front Porch team is here for you.

HOW CAN WE HELP?

PRAY FOR ME
Life gets heavy sometimes. Let us know how we can pray for you. You can share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.

I’D LIKE TO TALK WITH SOMEONE
Sometimes you just need another guy in your corner. Let us know you’d like to connect, and someone from the Front Porch team will reach out to set up a conversation over coffee, a meal, or whatever works.

HELP ME GET CONNECTED
Looking for some guys to do life with? Interested in a smaller group, Bible study, serving opportunity, or another next step? We’ll help you find a place to start.

I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT FAITH
Questions are welcome. Whether you’re exploring faith, coming back to church, or trying to figure out what following Jesus looks like in this season of life, we’d be glad to talk.

I NEED SOME SUPPORT
Going through something bigger than you want to carry alone? Marriage, grief, mental or emotional struggles, finances, family issues, or another difficult season … we can help connect you with the appropriate resources and support.

What We’re Learning

Men and Foundations is a 6-part challenge-based foundational discipleship course for men, created by Jon Tyson and Jeff Bethke.

At our monthly Front Porch gatherings, we’ll watch content from Jon and Jeff and participate in healthy conversations about being formed spiritually. You will leave being challenged to establish and practice core habits in your daily life.
