Every Man is moving in a direction.
Every man is moving in a direction.
The question isn’t whether you’re moving.
The question is whether you’re moving forward.
God did not create men to drift through life.
He calls us to lead. To serve. To build. To protect.
To leave a legacy that outlives us.
A gathering for men from every church, every generation, and every season of life.
Whether you’re thriving or struggling, young or old, married or single, new to faith or have followed Jesus for decades, this conference is designed to challenge you, strengthen you, and compel you forward.
It’s time to move forward in your faith.
Move forward in your family.
Move forward in your calling.
Move forward in your relationships.
Move forward in the man God created you to be.

rooted by faith
We have already seen the movement of God in this area. We also fully believe that men on fire - pursuing Jesus, loving their wives, investing in their children, leading in their workplace - can change the trajectory of our cities for generations to come.
Jeremiah 17 tells us that,
“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
This year we will explore what it looks like to be planted like a tree with deep roots.
We have been given the call to rise up and proudly exemplify the marks of Jesus.
Imagine the transformation of our cities if we were to answer.
