  • Men’s Retreat 2026 | A Man After God’s Own Heart

    Men, set aside the weekend and join us October 23–25 at Forest Home Christian Center for a time to step away from the everyday and intentionally seek the Lord together.

    This year’s theme, “A Man After God’s Own Heart,” comes from Acts 13:22 and will challenge and encourage us to consider what it truly means to be men who know God, follow Him faithfully, and desire His will for our lives.

    Throughout the weekend, we’ll spend time in God’s Word, worship, prayer, fellowship, and plenty of good conversation and fun. We’ll hear from Pastor Marty Hooper, Pastor Rick Schutte, Pastor Brian McDaniel, and IBF Elder Bob Barkley, with worship and music from special guest Hanz Ives.

    Whether you’ve attended a men’s retreat before or this will be your first, we encourage you to come. Step away from the noise for a weekend, build deeper friendships with other men, and give the Lord room to strengthen and refresh your walk with Him.
