Men: Join us at St. Christopher in February for a refreshing time of encouragement and equipping as we focus on “Reclaiming Biblical Manhood.” This theme is a continuation to Bishop Lawrence’s message in the Men’s Summit that was held in September.

The conference will include teachings by the Rt. Rev. Thad Barnum, a bishop with the Anglican Church in North America and worship led by Todd Fields, worship leader for North Point Community Church (Pastor, Andy Stanley).

Workshops will be held on Friday afternoon at the Church of Our Savior. See workshop descriptions below.

Enjoy fellowship with men from all over in a beachfront environment. This has become a favorite conference for fathers and sons throughout the years. All men 13 years and older are welcome to join in this time of spiritual growth and fellowship. Discounts for sons are offered as well as limited scholarships.

Marriage Challenge with Sherry and Scott Jennings

2 p.m. to 3:15 p.m: The Heart of a Man: What if you could be a man with nothing to hide, nothing to fear, and nothing to prove? Join us for a taste....an awakening to what it means to be an oriented man. An oriented man is a man who knows who he is, where he is, and the good God is up to in his life. Based on themes from the best selling book, The Heart of a Warrior by Michael Thompson, Scott Jennings will share an invitation and encouragement on becoming more.

3:30 to 4:45 p.m.: The Heart of a Woman: Every woman longs to be seen, wanted, and known. They bear the image of God in a most beautiful and significant way. Join Sherry Jennings as she guides you into a deeper understanding of the core desires of a woman's heart. This may very well change everything.

Mentoring: Are you being called to be a spiritual father?

Jay Crouse, Radical Mentoring and Coordinator for Men’s Ministry
Ramsey Gilchrist, Founder of M2 Ministry
This workshop is offered at 2 p.m. or 3:30 p.m.

The command of Jesus to go and make disciples is not in the least bit vague or ambiguous, but the Church, as Dallas Willard reminds us has opted to make converts instead of disciples. Join us on Friday afternoon and check out two outstanding mentoring programs that will empower you to realize the command of Jesus to go and make disciples.

Prayer Changes Things

The Rev. Rob Kunes, Chaplain, St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center
This workshop is offered at 2 p.m. or 3:30 p.m.

In Ephesians Ch. 6 we see that we are all called to engage in some degree of spiritual warfare, and many of us feel unequipped for the battle. Come and learn how to pray for healing, and how to declare blessings that will be life changing for you and your family.

Celebrate Recovery

Tom Brown
This workshop is offered at 2 p.m. or 3:30 p.m.

Recovery is not just for AA anymore! Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered 12 Step program. What we all have in common is our brokenness, the underlying problem and our attempt to self medicate the pain. Learn how this program can become a vital ministry in your church.
