Men's Retreat 2026

What would you lose if you slowed down? What could you gain? What's at stake if you continue living life at your current pace?

Come explore these questions as we consider why Jesus invites us to a "slowed-down spirituality" and engage how to walk (not sprint!) with Jesus in our normal lives. This retreat is an opportunity to quite literally slow down to invest in your relationship with God and to build spiritual friendships with other men. We'll sing, pray, learn, discuss, play, compete, and enjoy God together.

You are welcome to leave on Saturday night after session or stay for sunrise worship on the beach and breakfast on Sunday morning.

Logistical Details:
Bedding and towels are provided by the Laguna Beach Christian Retreat. Please bring your own toiletries, including soap and shampoo.

Friday dinner is a choose-your-own-adventure, pay-your-own-way occasion. You can choose to eat while you're on the way to the retreat, go out to eat with friends, or go to one of the local restaurants where Men's Ministry Leaders will be located (these will be communicated before the retreat).

If there are particular men you'd like to room with during the retreat, you can indicate rooming preferences in the registration. Room assignments will be communicated before the retreat.

If you are in need of financial assistance to attend, please contact Pastor Andrew at andrew.axsom@fouroakschurch.com.
