MEN'S COMMUNITY
Push yourself and grow.
Where a man spends his time says a lot about him and what he values. From seeking success in a pressure-filled workforce, to finding quality time to make memories with family. From seeking physical strength through healthy lifestyle choices to spending time being fed spiritually and/or emotionally. Life is full of experiences and growth opportunities, but it can also be a challenge to find balance with our time.
We recognize that men shouldn’t navigate that challenge alone. With Men’s Groups and other Venture Men gatherings, we can find strength through friendship, encouragement when we see we aren’t alone, and growth discovering the men we are meant to be.
Ways to Connect
MEN'S LIFE GROUPS
At Venture, the primary way we live in community is through Life Groups.
These groups are 8 to 15 men who meet weekly or several times a month, all throughout San Jose (In person and Online).
Some discuss the weekend’s message, but all are sharing in each other’s ups and downs and pursuing the way of Jesus together.

Warrior Men
Warrior Men’s Group
Many people have been lured into pornography and other sexual addictions, damaging their lives and marriages. If you are a man struggling with pornography or other sexual addictions, you are not alone. Our confidential Warrior Men’s group comes alongside men and provides encouragement and support toward victory over their addiction.
