Houston’s First is excited to host the Stand Courageous Men’s Conference on Saturday, June 3, 2023! Several area churches have partnered together to bring this city-wide men’s gathering to Houston.

What is Stand Courageous?

Where can men, husbands, and fathers find a model of manhood, leadership, and strength in a culture of gender confusion? We need men to be men, tough with compassionate strength, bent toward justice without compromise, locking arms and standing. We need to be the men God created us to be; warriors for all that is right, true, and just.

Stand Courageous seeks to help men develop a strong biblical character, cultivate positive habits, build and rebuild relationships, and make commitments that will move men closer to God’s good purpose and design – men who will Stand Courageous!

We invite you to join us at Stand Courageous to discuss critical aspects of masculinity. The conference is led by men who struggle with the same issues you do and will invest in unpacking our role as a defender, provider, instructor, and battle buddy so that we can have the generational influence as a “chaplain” inside and outside the home.

Stand Courageous is a ministry of Family Research Council.
