Men's Retreat 2025

Our Men's Retreat this year is September 12-13th at Bonclarken Retreat Center in Hendersonville, NC. Our theme is "Christ, the Man Maker".  True manhood isn’t manufactured by culture or earned by achievement — it’s forged by God through His Word, His Spirit, His people, and His Son. In these four sessions, we’ll explore what defines a man, the battles that test him, the choice that completes him, and the brotherhood that builds him. See the schedule and other details for the weekend below.
