Pursuit Men’s
Community
A community of men chasing after the heart of God!Pursuit is a men’s community passionately chasing after the heart of God in every area of life. Led by Pastor Lance Bourgeois, this ministry creates a space where men can find authentic brotherhood and genuine encouragement for the journey of faith. In Pursuit, men are challenged and inspired to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ while strengthening one another in truth and love. It’s a place where real conversations replace surface-level connections and where growth becomes both personal and collective. Together, we are becoming men who live with purpose, integrity, and an authentic pursuit of God.
Lance BourgeoisPursuit Men's Director Lance has served in full-time pastoral ministry for more than 25 years. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, he and Ellen returned “home” in the fall of 2024. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in
Psychology from LSU, a Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary in Family Life
Education, and a Doctor of Ministry in Youth, Family, and Culture from Fuller Theological Seminary. Over that time, he has continued to seek additional training in the issues that so frequently come up in pastoral counseling. He trained with Larry Crabb at Crabb’s School of
Spiritual Direction, in communication and conflict resolution utilizing the Christian Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREPinc.com) model, and in premarital and marriage counseling through the Prepare/Enrich Inventory (Prepare-Enrich.com). Built on the firm conviction that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man and woman of God may be complete, equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16–17),” he seeks to walk with people in helping them better understand the roadblocks in their lives that are inhibiting their fellowship with Christ and those around them.

Pursuit Events
Bible Study
One of the main ways we connect is though bible study. This fall, No Heart Left Behind invites you to join the Pursuit community for a study on the book of Ecclesiastes.
Through his own personal study in seeking the answers to life's biggest question, "What is the meaning of life?" Solomon exposes many paths that people pursue to answer that question until he ultimately reveals the singular path that provides purpose to one's life.
Men's Pursuit will meet on Fridays from 6-7 am in the upstairs board room at Pelican Athletic Club in Mandeville starting August 29th. If you have any questions please reach out to our Pursuit director, Lance Bourgeois at lbourgeois@noheartleftbehind.com.
