Join us for our Men’s Retreat 2025 from November 14-16! Most men go through life only to eventually wonder if they really made a difference in this world. Certainly, we can leave financial and material possessions but eventually they will run out or lose their significance. However, what truly will last is a consistent, intentional and genuine legacy of faith in God and the tenets of His Word. A Godly legacy is the greatest inheritance a man can ever leave behind. Come join Pastor Tom Joyce and the men of Forcey as we explore godly leadership and discipleship. Please register here: 2025 Men’s Retreat or visit the men’s table for a retreat brochure. When you are registering make sure you choose your name as the first ticket holder, and then you add additional guests.
The pre retreat information letter is now available for pick up at the men’s table.
Please note: Motel Rooms are available to the first 75 Men who register only, but we will provide bunk beds at the lodge for everyone else registered to stay overnight.
The FBC Men’s Retreat is a weekend that you do not want to miss!
