Do you struggle with questions about your identity as man or woman? Are you looking to walk according to God’s design for chastity and purity in sexual relationships? Do you find yourself always returning to behaviors that are the opposite of your understanding of God’s will and purpose for you in relationship with others? You are not alone! And we believe that God has truth to speak to you and the power to transform your life to more clearly reflect God’s love and character.
At Outpost, we believe God has given us a set of support groups and classes to help you encounter God and hear what God has to say about you, your identity, and your behaviors. We also believe these are tools God uses as we seek to “be transformed by the renewing of our minds” (Romans 12:2).
If you are ready to get involved, or if you just want more information, contact us in the office. All participants must complete an introduction meeting with a ministry staff member and take our Foundations course before attending any groups or classes.

Ongoing Support for Men
But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.
Numbers 14:24
Caleb waited for more than 40 years to see the fulfillment of God’s promise; he was one of only two who did. Because he had a different spirit, he followed God wholeheartedly. We want to cultivate that same spirit within the men of CalebSpirit. Men over 35 struggling with unwanted same-sex romantic and sexual attractions or any issue related to sexuality are welcome to join us.
This support group meets weekly for worship, teaching, accountability, prayer ministry and even for some fun and fellowship.
This is a support group for young men struggling with sexual and relational issues (including unwanted same-sex romantic and erotic desires). Designed specifically for men ages 18-35, this life-changing fellowship is devoted to the strengthening of the spirit, soul, and body as well as connecting to the world of men.
Through teachings on the love of God, biblical sexuality, inner-healing, and through small group prayer ministry, young men are empowered to live out the call to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God.
1-on-1 Discipleship and Mentoring
We have pastoral and ministry staff members who are experienced in mentoring others in their Christian walk. Whether you are craving deeper biblical discipleship and inner-healing, wanting extra help in overcoming an addiction, praying through past wounds, needing marital advice where one or more spouse is struggling with their sexual behaviors, or seeking general life coaching, we would love to connect with you.
This ministry is subject to staff availability.
Summer Intensive for Young Men
Many young men ask: Why am I struggling? Why can’t I just get over depression, anxiety, fear, porn, lust, and other life-dominating behaviors? What does it mean to be a man?
If you can relate, we invite you to learn how to seek true strength through struggle as you are equipped with tools to find wholeness in your identity as a man of God.
The Summer Intensive 10-week course that runs each summer through the Joshua Fellowship support group. It is open to any man with any struggle. It concludes with a 4-day capstone experience away from home, designed to solidify lessons learned throughout the season.
An introduction interview and completion of Foundations is needed to participate, so please contact us by May to prepare. Participants will be asked to help cover the cost of lodging and food for the capstone experience, as they are able.
Classes for Men and Women
Living Waters is an 18-week Christ-centered program for those seeking healing and freedom from fear, shame, insecurity, self-hatred, boundary issues, unforgiveness, abuse, sexual addiction, and other relational brokenness. Worship, teaching, prayer and small groups help participants to work through pain that is still impacting their lives today. The Living Waters curriculum is produced by our partner ministry, Desert Stream Ministries.
We offer Living Waters once a year, usually starting in mid-September and ending in mid-March, with time off for the December holidays. This class is a closed group; once it begins, no new participants will be accepted for that year’s program. There is an application process each summer, which helps our leaders plan and prepare for the specific folks who will be participating.
