What is Steadfast?
Steadfast is our men’s ministry and discipleship initiative at Anthem Church.
Throughout the year, we gather in different ways—sometimes large groups, sometimes over a fire pit, sometimes in smaller settings—to encourage and equip men to become more like Jesus.
With Steadfast, our aim is to joyfully take on responsibility—becoming grounded, resilient, and formed in the way of Jesus. Right now, we’re treating Steadfast as an experiment. We’re testing the waters, trying different rhythms, and learning together what it looks like to walk with God as men in this cultural moment. Our goal isn’t perfection, but pursuit—to be men who are grounded, growing, and walking in step with Jesus.
WHAT ARE DNA GROUPS?
DNA Groups are small groups of 2–4 men that meet weekly for about an hour to pursue Jesus together. DNA stands for Discover, Nurture, Act—three simple movements that guide the rhythm of each gathering. Together, we open Scripture, speak the gospel into real areas of struggle or growth, and commit to walking in obedience and mission. These groups are meant to be honest, grace-filled, and reproducible. This summer, DNA Groups will meet for 8 weeks during June and July, walking through the book of Ephesians together.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to get started: the summer reading plan, a link to the ESV journal you can order on Amazon, and the full DNA Group guide to walk you through each week.
