Where Men Learn To Lead, Love, and Live Boldly

WATCHMEN REGISTRATION

What is Watchmen?

Watchmen is a retreat where men leave feeling inspired, encouraged and motivated to live out the life God has called them to.  Men who attend Watchmen will be inspired to try new things and participate in activities designed just for men.  They will be encouraged by a community of men to tear down walls, set aside pride and follow Jesus.  Our desire is that each man is motivated to return home to invest in his family’s spiritual health, restore broken relationships and be a ‘watchman’ over his brothers and sisters in Christ.

 

This retreat is for men.  Teenage boys are welcome to attend with a father, grandfather, or mentor.
