Meets Fridays at 6:30 pm at The Den in SLO, CA. We’re forming a Life Group for young men with one purpose: to hold each other accountable and provide encouragement as we navigate the challenges of lustful desires. We believe there are far too many young men who feel alone in this struggle, unable to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. This group is designed to be a safe, judgment-free zone where you can open up, share, and be heard. Together, we’ll create an atmosphere of honesty, support, and accountability—lifting one another up and guiding each other toward the right path. RSVP: flames2025@gmail.com or flintjmiller2004@icloud.com. To join group, visit: https://myactivechurch.churchcenter.com/groups/young-adult-life-groups/slo-men-hosted-by-fabian-and-flint

As a weekend puppy parent, you will be assigned a dog to take home on weekends. You will be expected to pick up the dog from The California Men’s Colony on Fridays each week and keep them for the weekend to expose them to everyday life. This option is great for people who cannot commit to having a dog full time, or for first time puppy raisers who want to get a feel for what it is like without making the full commitment. As a weekend puppy parent, you will be expected to take your dog on outings to generalize their training and prepare them for their future job as a service dog. Service dogs in training can go with you to the grocery store, movie theater, restaurants, and many more locations. You are encouraged to take your dogs on outings to expose them to new environments and practice good public manners in all settings.
