Standing Firm: GCCSB Men's Retreat 2026

Pursuing Christlike Manhood

October 29, 4:00pm - October 31, 2026 10:00am
43 spots remaining

Men, get ready for a weekend of biblical challenge, genuine fellowship, and renewed conviction.

In a culture that constantly pressures men to compromise, retreat, or redefine what it means to be a man, Scripture calls us to something far greater—a life wholly devoted to Christ.


This men’s retreat is an opportunity to get away from the distractions of everyday life, open God’s Word together, and be challenged to grow as men of conviction, courage, purity, humility, strength, and faithfulness. Through powerful biblical teaching and meaningful fellowship, we’ll consider what it looks like to follow Christ with resolve—in our personal walk, our marriages, our families, our church, and every responsibility God has entrusted to us.


Whether you are a young man beginning to establish the direction of your life, a husband and father seeking to lead your family faithfully, or a seasoned believer wanting to finish strong, this weekend is designed to encourage and equip you to pursue Christ with greater purpose.

Come ready to be challenged by the Word, strengthened by other men, and renewed in your commitment to live for the glory of God.


Location: Ironwood Retreat Center
