Welcome!
men's retreats
Refuge Retreat offers two options of men's retreats: 'PROGRAMMED or 'DO IT YOURSELF'.
Programmed Retreat
Empowering Men
Empowering Men, is an all-inclusive, fully programmed retreat Refuge Retreat offers. It is a retreat designed to meet men where they are and help them take their next steps forward. All Empowering Men Retreats are led by God honoring speakers who communicate Biblical truth and connect with men.
The culture tries to mold men into a certain image, and it falls short every time. God’s Word defines what Biblical manhood is and how we can fight to reflect that image. It is a high calling, and it is challenging, but the results are worth investing all the intentional work. You will walk away with practical applications and the tools to live it out every day and influence those around you to do the same.
