Over the weekend of May 2–4, 100 men gathered at Leoni Meadows for the annual Christian Men’s Retreat, themed “Built for Freedom.”
The retreat focused on the powerful truth that true freedom is found in Christ. Through inspiring leadership, thoughtful coaching, and interactive group projects, participants were invited into honest discussions about faith, vulnerability, and what it means to live freely as men of God.
The atmosphere of openness and trust helped break down emotional and spiritual barriers that men often carry. During a time of heartfelt sharing—when fears, goals, and personal trials were laid bare—one attendee described the moment as “The most powerful service I’ve ever been a part of.”
Throughout the weekend, many friendships were formed, faith rekindled, and a renewed sense of calling emerged among the group. Several men shared that they left the retreat feeling reconnected to God, to one another, and their purpose.
