Strength & Stillness: Men's Retreat 2026
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”

Join us for our first annual "Strength & Stillness: Men's Retreat". Escape busy life for a weekend of tranquility, community, worship and growth.
When was the last time you felt truly refreshed in your body, mind, or spirit? Water sustains life, restores what’s dry, and connects all of creation. Throughout scripture, God uses water to cleanse, renew, and bring new beginnings. From the waters of creation to the waters of baptism, God’s presence flows through it all. Together, we’ll dive into what it means to be renewed by the Water of Life—a source that never runs dry. Join us for a weekend of reflection, connection, and inspiration! |
