The Anvil

Registration is open

Small gatherings for the men of Bethany

3 gatherings · Sep 3 – Sep 19, 2026

The Anvil is simply an opportunity for the men of Bethany to build community with other men. It’s a time to chat, laugh and maybe make one or two new friends. This isn’t a big-crowd sort of event. Instead, The Anvil consists of many individual small group gatherings, hosted by various men in the church. These gatherings occur at different days and times to accommodate as many schedules as possible.

There’s no agenda when you attend an Anvil gathering, just a desire to create a space for men to connect and relax in a casual, laid-back environment. Each event is unique, since the hosts of each Anvil plan their own gatherings.
