Men

Building a community of men who reflect Christ-like love and service in all their many roles. We are men for others.

Our goal is to encourage and equip men to lead, love, and serve like Jesus in all of their many roles – whether it’s modeling Christ at work or school, growing as a loving husband, or developing character as a father. Below are a few opportunities for men to connect.

Man Camp

Man Camp
May 17, 2024. All day

Friday - Sunday, May 17-19 | Washington Family Ranch

Man Camp: Where men step out of isolation and into Christ-Centered Community.

Join in as we explore the deeper waters of faith as you get away from the hustle of everyday life. Our theme this year is REVIVE. Join us as we explore what it takes to live a REVIVED life. Our expert speakers will lead you through the process of understanding that as men we are dead in our sin, that God gives us life through Jesus, and what it takes to find new life. How we do this as Christian men matters. The good news is that you are not alone; find the support and wisdom you need at Man Camp 2024.
