The Men’s Encounter is a powerful 48-hour weekend designed for men (18 and older) from every walk of life to experience the freedom, breakthrough, and transformation Jesus paid for on the cross.


In 2026, our focus is clear: Reset. Reimagine. Reclaim. So you can reign.


This is your moment to step away from the noise, the pressure, the routine—and meet God in a way that resets your soul, reimagines your future, and empowers you to reclaim your identity and purpose as a man of God.


During this Encounter, you’ll receive clarity for the road ahead, healing for what’s behind you, and a renewed definition of who you are called to be. It’s a life-changing experience designed for every man—whether you’re strong in your faith, just starting your journey, or simply searching for answers.


You owe it to yourself to pause, breathe, and let God realign your heart. From the very first moment to the final session, God will challenge, shape, and strengthen you to rise into everything He’s called you to be.


Come ready. Come open. Come expecting.


When you give God space to reset your life, reimagine your possibilities, and reclaim what was lost—you will reign.


Join us for Men’s Encounter 2026. Your breakthrough starts here.
