Show up
Consistent. Not occasional.
He turns up when it is easy and when it is not. Not every week is a good one, but he keeps coming back.
Lifegate Church Prestons, Sundays 10AM
Iron XXVII
Mens Group
Sharpened by brothers.
Forged for purpose.
A group of men who don't want anyone carrying it alone. Some of us follow Jesus, some are still working it out, and some walked in with nothing left. You don't need to have it sorted to sit here.

A collective discussion. Before the rush of the holiday season hits, step into a safe, zero-judgment space for men to speak openly, drop the armour, and build each other up. Come as you are, share the weight, and leave sharpened. All welcome.
This month's flyer
All welcome, no pressure, no judgement.
The code
How the group works
Straight talk
No pretending. No performance.
He says the true thing about his week, his marriage and his head. What is said in the group stays in the group.
Carry it home
Home first. Word kept.
The group is not the finish line. He takes what he learns home and does the quiet, unglamorous work there.
Rebuilding
For men coming out of addiction
Some of the men in this group have been where you are. We don't rank one addiction above another. You won't be treated like a project or a case file, and nothing you say leaves the group.
You don't have to be sorted to come, and you don't have to be religious. Plenty of men here came for the support long before they cared about the church side of it.
- Men who have been where you are
- Practical help: rehab, counselling, and men who work in the field
- Faith, accountability and straight talk, side by side

The Friction of Brotherhood
Men, we are often conditioned to carry our stress, failures and pain in complete silence. We convince ourselves that asking for help is a weakness, so we isolate ourselves under the weight of our own burdens. But isolation is exactly where the enemy wants us.
The brotherhood
Men who show up
We turn up for each other, we tell each other the truth, and we carry the weight home to our families.
- One man checks in on you through the week.
- You get to know a handful of us properly, not the whole group.
- What is said in the group stays in the group.
