Men's Retreat
It's time for you to step away and take time to reconnect with God, yourself, and other men of faith. Olmsted's retreats are a perfect balance of teaching, fellowship, and relaxation. We invite you to prioritize your spiritual health and join us at this men's retreat.
How Do You Disciple A Man?
“How do you disciple a man? Introduce him to Jesus. Get him into a small group. Teach him to pray and read his Bible daily. Help him deal with his issues. Get him serving others. But what else? Everybody knows what men’s ministry is supposed to accomplish; most Christians understand why men need Jesus. The problem is the how. How do we build and sustain ministry to men? How do we get men to take the next step toward wholeness? How do we deal with the frustrations and challenges that always seem to crop up?”
- Jay Paleitner and David Morrow, Editors, “How to Disciple Men,”
Take advantage of this opportunity to come together and learn how to develop small groups with greater spiritual depth and a focus on discipling men. As these discipling small groups continue to grow stronger, the men will gain a shared interest in the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of one another. Along with discipling the men within the group, group members will gain an understanding of how to minister to and disciple men in the churches and communities they serve. Become a valued partner with your pastor and church leadership, while strengthening the spiritual journey of the men in your church.
