March 6-7, 2026

We would love for you to join us for our annual Man Up Conference taking place on March 6-7, 2026. There's no fluff during Man Up. As men, we gather, we fellowship, we worship, and we open our hearts to the preaching of God's Word. We have a few fun things planned, but the highlight is the worship and the preaching as we challenge each other to stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let all that we do be done in Christ-like love (1 Corinthians 16:13-14). We would love for you and your church group to join us for the Man Up Conference 2026.
