Thu Evening – Fri Afternoon · Add-On
An optional add-on to the Men's Retreat for men who want to grow in their ability to lead and influence others for Christ — open to any man who wants to go deeper, not just those already in formal leadership.
What It Is
This isn't about leadership technique or business success. It's about faithfully stewarding the responsibility God has entrusted to us as husbands, fathers, churchmen, employers, employees, friends, and community leaders — through focused teaching, discussion, prayer, and mentorship in a smaller group before the main retreat begins.
The Leadership Experience begins Thursday evening and concludes Friday afternoon, transitioning directly into the Men's Retreat. It's designed to provide additional time for teaching, discussion, prayer, mentorship, and relationship-building among a smaller group of men — establishing a culture of intentionality, service, and brotherhood that carries into the larger retreat.
