Abide: A Men’s Weekend Retreat
“Abide in me as I abide in you.” — John 15:4
Abide is a weekend retreat designed to help men reconnect with God, themselves, and one another. Together, we’ll explore what it means to abide in Christ in the ordinary rhythms of everyday life. Through worship, prayer, reflection, honest conversation, and spiritual practices, participants will explore ways to deepen their relationship with God. Just as importantly, Abide is an invitation into deeper kinship. We hope to create space for participants to begin building relationships marked by trust, encouragement, and prayer with one another. Because following Jesus was never meant to be a solitary journey.
Abide in Christ. Go deeper with one another. Live connected.
