2026 FPC FAMILY TAILGATE
Thursday, September 3
It’s a Fall Tradition! Men’s Ministry of First Presbyterian will "kick off" the fall season of life together with Wake Forest’s football season opener against University of Akron on Friday, September 3. We will host a tailgate open to all church families beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the Red Lot (see map). Game time is 7:00 p.m. There will be plenty of food and drink for everyone as we get ready for the Wake Forest Deacs to take on the Akron Zips. Please help us spread the word by inviting others in the church to join us.
You will need to purchase your own ticket(s) to the game. However, we may have some tickets to give away at the tailgate, so check there before purchasing tickets at the game.
Questions about the event? E-mail Ty Carson.
Registration questions? E-mail Blaire Gassett.

Men's Ministry Goals
Grow men in their relationship with Christ
Encourage men to embrace their unique call in service to God
Build community (and communities) among men
Invite and include men not actively walking with Christ and not members of First Presbyterian – win men for Christ
Provide entry points for men that help reach other goals
Provide opportunities to model man-of-Christ living
There are opportunities for men of all ages to engage in a variety of settings in order to know, experience, and act on the love and power of Christ. Our events are open to all men and are often comprised of men from other churches and denominations, drawn together by Christ, and the desire to know Him better.
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
