Hammer & Anvil Fellows Program
Step Up as a Theological Leader
Brotherhood. Boldness. Biblical Soundness.
The Hammer & Anvil Fellows Program is a six-month intensive for Christian men who want to develop a biblical worldview, defend the faith, disciple their families, and lead others well.
Through guided reading (participants will read about 7 books), twice-monthly cohort meetings, practical challenges, and committed brotherhood, Fellows will grow in theological understanding and put that knowledge into action.
