Tired of men being shown as the "dummy" in TV commercials? Tired of being blamed for most of what's wrong in society today? Your new men's ministry team is, and we've decided to start taking back some of the ground we've surrendered. It won't be pretty. It won't be easy. But far too much is at stake for good men to do nothing! $2. See you there.

"Many, if not most, of our cultural problems can be traced back to the failure of a man..."

That’s what’s being said about us.
And "that" is no longer acceptable.

Our society and the media have made a sport out of mocking men and blaming us for everything that’s gone wrong in our world. We know we have some responsibility to accept in this but we believe we can also offer something far greater.

This retreat is dedicated to moving men one step closer to:

  • love passionately - pursuing with courage the things that matter most to them, to God and to satan
  • influence intentionally - the 8-10 people God has assigned to them. We want our men to be successful at home, at work and on mission.
  • validate other men - show them they do have what it takes, and
  • equip those men a few steps behind them on the journey.

Every man who completes Spring Training Camp will return with a life-mission statement and the tools to live it out ...because you DO have what it takes.

Let us show you how.
No man left behind.

This could be the most critical weekend of your life.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another
Proverbs 27:17
