Men's discipleship
We call men into repentance, discipline, prayer, Scripture and practical obedience. Growth is not theory; it is a life submitted to Christ.
Christian men's ministry in Hamilton & Grimsby, Ontario
Awaken and ignite men under the banner of Christ.
This Saturday at 7 PM
Sons x The Forge Worship Night
Grimsby location · 321 Hunter Rd, Grimsby, ON L3M 0H2
Sons of Scripture is a Christian men's ministry in Hamilton and Grimsby, Ontario. Men meet every Saturday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 PM for Scripture, teaching, prayer and honest accountability, alternating week to week between the Grimsby location at 321 Hunter Rd and Carisma Church at 1239 Main St E in Hamilton. Any man is welcome to walk in.
This is not passive religion. It is a brotherhood for men who want to be formed by Scripture, sharpened by other men, and sent into faithful Kingdom living.
Find your chapter
Sons of Scripture has two chapters, about 26 km apart along the Hamilton and Niagara shoreline. They alternate, so there is a gathering every Saturday and each location hosts every other week. The banner at the top of this page always names the next one.
| Chapter | When | Where | Focus | Directions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grimsby | Every other Saturday, 7:00 to 9:00 PM | 321 Hunter Rd, Grimsby, ON L3M 0H2 | Fellowship, accountability check-ins, discipleship pathways | Grimsby directions |
| Hamilton | Every other Saturday, 7:00 to 9:00 PM | Carisma Church, 1239 Main St E, Hamilton, ON | Prayer, doctrinal study, Hamilton outreach | Hamilton directions |

The gathering pattern
A gathering runs two hours in three parts: fellowship and honest check-ins, then Scripture and teaching, then prayer at the altar. Nothing is performed and nobody is put on the spot. The full walkthrough, including what to bring and what a first visit looks like, is on the gatherings page.
| Time | Segment | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 7:00 PM | Heavy Iron | Fellowship around a table. Real check-ins: where men are winning, where they are drifting, what they are carrying. |
| 7:30 PM | Sword & Spirit | Scripture and teaching. Passages, doctrine and the standard Christ sets for men, argued out openly, and written up afterwards so a man who missed it can still read it. |
| 8:15 PM | Altar & Fire | Prayer. Brothers pray for one another over family, healing, freedom from addiction, work and surrender. |
The ministry identity
It is for men who are tired of drifting: men who want Scripture to hold real authority over their decisions, other men who will tell them the truth, and a place to pray out loud without performing. It is not a lecture series and it is not a networking club. Men come from Hamilton, Grimsby, Stoney Creek and across Niagara.
We call men into repentance, discipline, prayer, Scripture and practical obedience. Growth is not theory; it is a life submitted to Christ.
Men need brothers who speak truth, carry burdens, resist compromise and sharpen one another toward holiness.
Faith is lived through worship, outreach, service, fellowship, local church commitment and daily surrender to Jesus.
Five dollars a month
The first call on this ministry's money is not the coffee. It is the brother in the room who is behind on rent, short on groceries, or holding a family together on one income he cannot stretch. Five dollars a month from enough men covers a lot of that quietly, without anyone having to stand up and ask.
Nothing at a Saturday gathering depends on giving, and nobody is asked for money at the door. Giving runs through the ministry's account on Charitable Impact, a Canadian giving platform, so Sons of Scripture never sees a card number.

Before you come
Short answers to what men ask before a first Saturday. Anything not here, send us a message.
No. There is no registration form and no sign-up. Turn up at the address listed for that Saturday at 7:00 PM. If you would rather tell someone you are coming first, send us a message and a brother will meet you at the door.
The two chapters alternate week to week, so each hosts every other Saturday. Rather than counting weeks, read the banner at the top of this page: it always names the date, city and address of the next gathering.
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Men usually stay talking afterwards, so if you can only come for the first hour or have to leave early, that is fine and nobody will make a thing of it.
A Bible if you own one, and something to write with. If you do not own a Bible, come anyway and say so; the evening is built on Scripture, so somebody will make sure you can read along.
Neither. Sons of Scripture is a men's ministry, not a church, and it is not a substitute for one. Committed membership in a local church is part of what this brotherhood calls men toward, which is set out in the statement of beliefs and on the Kingdom Life page.
Yes. Sons of Scripture gathers men, and the accountability that happens in the room depends on that. Bring a friend, a son, a father or a brother.
Yes. Men arrive at every stage, including men who are not sure they believe any of it. What is published on this site is what the ministry holds, not a test you have to pass at the door.
