2026 Men’s Retreat

The Struggle for Manhood

 

October 7-11 (Keynote 9-11)

Woodland Valley Retreat
Woodland Park, CO

 

Grow in faith alongside other men at Mt. Calvary’s 2026 Men’s Retreat. Through Scripture, prayer, and conversation, we’ll explore what it means to follow Christ in our homes, church, and community.

Our speaker this year is Rev. Tim Radkey who will be speaking on “The Struggle for Manhood”

You are not alone.

We’ll gather around God’s Word for four sessions focusing on the battle to be the men God has called us to be in Christ Jesus. Embracing the struggle and your willingness to do the hard things is at the heart of Christ’s call to pick up your cross and follow Him. Come for honest conversation, encouragement, and time to reconnect with the brotherhood Christ created through the shedding of His blood, for you.

This retreat offers time for worship, teaching, and honest discussion, as well as unhurried space for rest. Register below to join a weekend of Christian fellowship, encouragement, and shared commitment to serving others.
