Step away from the demands of everyday life and spend a weekend investing in what matters most.
The Fort Caswell Men’s Retreat is a chance to get away, connect with other men, and be challenged and encouraged through God’s Word. This year’s theme, Cornerstone, focuses on what it means to build our lives, our families, and our faith on a foundation that lasts.
As men, we have the opportunity to shape the culture of our homes, influence the next generation, and live out our faith in the everyday moments of life. But a strong life and a strong home require a strong foundation. Throughout the weekend, we’ll consider what it looks like to put Christ at the center and allow Him to shape the way we live, lead, love, and serve.
Come enjoy a weekend at Fort Caswell filled with biblical teaching, meaningful fellowship, good food, and time to slow down and refocus on Christ. Whether you come with friends, your dad, your son, or a group from your church, there’s a place for you at the table.
Build your life on the Cornerstone.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children.” — Deuteronomy 6:5-7
