GUYS AGES 14 & UP:

Pastor Eric Dykstra and friends want to inspire you to become the men of God you’re called to be! This retreat includes manly food, outdoor adventures, powerful worship, biblical teaching, and a time to recharge and grow your faith.

In a culture that distorts, weakens, and redefines manhood, men face constant pressure from the world, the flesh, and the devil to compromise their convictions and lose their identity. Unconquered Men is a call to stand firm in Christ—men shaped by God's truth, led by His Spirit, and strengthened to live with courage, integrity, and purpose.
