Word Meets World

Russell Brensing

Men’s Ministry Leader | russellb79@hotmail.com

I am a Christian man with a deep-seated passion for Men’s Ministry, driven by the desire to see lives transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I dedicate my time to leading, organizing, and facilitating men’s ministry efforts aimed at spiritual growth, accountability, and fellowship among men. My primary focus is to create environments where men can encounter the Lord, be discipled in their faith, address life’s challenges from a biblical perspective, and ultimately be equipped to lead their families and communities toward Our Lord and Savior. I strive to personally connect with as many men as possible, guiding them toward a deeper relationship with Christ and empowering them to live out their faith boldly.

Vision:

To Honor God By Guiding Our Children Through Joyful Adventures and Teaching Them to Seek Him First

Description:

Adventures with Dads is a program equipping Christian fathers to intentionally build deep, lasting relationships with their children through fun, shared experiences that anchor their family’s identity in Christ.

Proverbs 22:6 (NIV): “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NIV): “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”

Men of Christ.

Building virtue.

Forging brotherhood.

Join us on a journey of faith, trust, and mutual support with an eternal purpose.

A purpose lived out through our commitment to these biblical truths:

Confess to one another (James 5:16)
Live with humility (Philippians 2:3)
Bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2)
Bear fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22)
Exercise self-control (2 Timothy 1:7)
Build on Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11)
Grow in grace (2 Peter 3:18)
Teach generations to come (Psalm 78:4)

Natalie Reed

Accommodations & Inclusion | natalie.reed@mrcc.org | 405.607.6400

Natalie grew up in Edmond, attending Edmond Church of Christ. She has been a member at MRCC since 2006.

Her initial plan was to either become a sports medicine doctor and do medical research or become a country singer. Took some twists and turns, which included a blip in studying fashion marketing where I found out I in fact do not have the gift of sewing. During those years, she volunteered and served in youth ministry, at many church camps, and in children’s ministry. She eventually found where her heart belonged all along: in special education.

She is a special education teacher here in Edmond, and has been in the special education classroom for over 20 years. She graduated from Western Governor’s University, and is certified in early childhood, elementary, and mild/moderate special education.

She is a proud aunt to Conner and Kylie, and proud dog mom to Wrigley…who you will never see without a bow tie! She loves singing, writing, cooking, a good theme to roll with, coming up with a good pun, decorating, and design. But, her favorite thing to do is spend quality time serving and building relationships to help bridge the gap for families and friends in our local disability community. It really just starts with a friend!
