Fathers in the Field @ Grace Church Aurora
To rekindle and establish the spirit of boys who have been abandoned by their fathers; mentoring them one-on-one in life skills through outdoor activities, and by sharing a Christian understanding of our Heavenly Father’s love and sacrifice for His children.
Defend the cause of the Fatherless - Isaiah 1:17
Fathers in the Field was established with the deep conviction to answer God’s call to defend the cause of the fatherless through the provision of godly mentoring fathers. The ill effects of growing up without a father upon the boy, the family and our society are profound. We are confident that through faithful commitment to a fatherless boy his future will be much brighter and have the distinct privilege of introducing him to the Heavenly Father and to His Son, Jesus Christ.
Fathers in the Field works to achieve 3 important goals:
- Faith: Demonstrate to boys that they have a Father in Heaven who created, loves and cares for them, and will never forsake them.
- Fatherhood: Demonstrate fatherly love and commitment, to repair broken spirits and prepare the foundation for future fatherhood.
- Forgiveness: Share the need for boys to forgive the failings of their earthly fathers, as our Heavenly Father forgives His children in Christ.
Summary of the Grace Church Aurora (GCA) program:
GCA seeks to pair up men from the church (“Mentor Fathers”) with fatherless boys (“Field Buddies”). The Mentor Fathers and Field Buddies meet four times a month, and they work together to serve others, worship the Lord, and (most importantly) grow an unshakeable faith in our Heavenly Father, who will never abandon His children.
Participation in the program has no cost. We seek boys aged 7 to 17, who urgently need male role models. Participants have a three-year commitment (one year at a time) to preserve constancy. GCA Mentor Fathers are background-checked and approved by GCA leadership.
