Men's Retreat
March 28-29, 2025
Join us for this all-inclusive opportunity for men (18+) to enjoy incredibly fun activities, amazing food, engaging workshops, deepening relationships, genuine worship, and challenges from God’s word!
Men, we’re in a daily battle against the evil one, the flesh, and the pressures of daily life, which can often lead to discouragement, frustration, isolation, or pride. Yet, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can enjoy the life we are called to — a life of joy, contentment, fellowship, and humility.
Come away with us for the weekend to be further equipped to continue the good fight!
