The meeting will include breakfast fellowship, personal testimonies and a time of worship. The free event is open to men of all ages and will take place from 8-10 a.m. at Grace College’s Alpha Dining Commons, 725 Alpha Circle, Winona Lake.

“We are thrilled to have Dr. Drew Flamm come and share what the Spirit lays on his heart,” said Don Clemens, co-founder of Men Following Christ. “It’s evident that he has a passion for knowing Christ and making him known, and that is the heartbeat of Men Following Christ.”

Flamm has more than 16 years of higher education experience at multiple colleges. He came to Grace in 2013 to serve as vice president of advancement before stepping into his role as president this July. Flamm holds a bachelor’s in strategic communication from Cedarville University, a master’s in communication and leadership from Gonzaga University and a doctorate in educational leadership from Indiana State University.

Flamm serves as the host of the Grace Story Podcast, regularly speaks in Grace chapel services and is on the speaker rotation at Mission Point Community Church. He lives in Winona Lake with his wife Stephanie and their three sons.

“It’s an honor to share with this group of men in our community who are faithful and devoted followers of Jesus,” said Flamm. “Men Following Christ has a rich heritage and a meaningful mission, and I’m looking forward to being a part of that as we fellowship and worship together.”

Men Following Christ originated in 1999 under the name “Hillside Ministries.” Don Clemens and Rod Mayer dreamed of seeing 4,000 men seated on the hillside next to Clemens’ home in Winona Lake, where the famous evangelist Billy Sunday once preached. In 2002, the name was changed to “Men Following Christ.”

Today, the ministry is one of many outreaches housed under C4One, a nonprofit organization in Winona Lake, focused on community outreach that empowers leaders to strengthen their relationships and impact.

Men Following Christ offers monthly meetings for men of all ages. Their meetings are open to anyone looking to grow in their walk with Jesus Christ, as well as be inspired by the testimonies of other men.
