WHAT IS BROTHERS MEN'S RETREAT 2023?

We want Christian men to be a part of the fifth annual BROTHERS Men’s Retreat! The main objective of this ministry is to UNITE Christian Brothers through a weekend retreat where we will be focusing on how to grow stronger as Brothers in Christ and find unity in God’s word. If we get a few men from every congregation in the middle Tennessee area, we will make a huge impact on the church for good!

We pray this is an event you will decide to be a part of as we attempt to strengthen the church in middle Tennessee. Please call, text or email with questions. We look forward to fighting for God’s will!

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING…

“I had such a fun and up-building time in this retreat last year. It’s held in a beautiful place with caring men who love Christ and want to be all that God wants them to be. It’s one of the best-organized events of its kind. I recommend it to you without reservation. Do yourself and your family a favor and make time for the Brothers Men’s Retreat this Spring.”
Glenn Colley, West Huntsville church of Christ (Huntsville, AL)
“This retreat is a great way to connect not only with God, but with your fellow brothers in Christ. We got to spend time in God’s word, listen to wonderful speakers, eat some good food, and just be together and be a part of each other’s lives. Men, you need to make time to go to this. You will be richly blessed in your walk with God!”
Jeremy Burleson, Spring Hill church of Christ (Spring Hill, TN)
“This is a great way to recharge and refocus your spiritual life. The lessons were well thought out and applicable. The fellowship was amazing.”
Wesley Skelton, East Side church of Christ (Cleveland, TN)
“This unique retreat is one of conviction, connection and brotherhood. The in-depth Bible study, engaging speakers and fellowship is well worth the time and money! I encourage all men in the brotherhood to attend this retreat to renew your commitment to God, your family and to your brothers in Christ!”
Steve Minor, Wylie church of Christ (Wylie, TX)
