Our Story

A brotherhood built on faith, fellowship, and the shared work of praising the Lord.

Founded by Arch Trenil

Men of Praise was founded by Arch Trenil. His vision was simple: men needed a place to come together as brothers, to encourage each other in the faith, and to praise the Lord together — not alone, not in isolation, but in fellowship. After his passing, his vision continues through every Monday gathering and every brother who walks in the doors looking for what he started.

Today's Leadership

The group is led today by Fritz Nagel, alongside Mike Kasala and Nick Alcantar. Their leadership keeps the heart of the group focused on Christ, on each other, and on welcoming the next man through the door.

Mondays in Northeast Ohio

Every Monday, men gather in NEOhio for fellowship, prayer, and shared time in the Word. There's nothing complicated about it. We sing the Lord's praises. We talk through what's hard. We pray for one another. We leave better than we came.
