Friday–Saturday, Oct 10–11, 2025
Pineywoods Camp — 6272, US-287, Groveton, TX 75845

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, isolating, and overwhelming, it's time to lift our eyes to what is sure and certain-The LORD! Join us for the 2025 Men's Retreat-Unstoppable-a two-day journey into the heart of God's unchanging truth and power with 100s of other men!

We'll focus on the Unstoppable King, the Unstoppable Kingdom, our call as Unstoppable Kingsmen, and the end result is the Unstoppable Life. This weekend is designed for men 18 and older to ignite courage, renew brotherhood, and restore clarity about who we are and who we serve. Together, we'll explore these powerful truths:

• The King is enthroned — glorious, sovereign, and trustworthy.
• The life we live is shaped by His Word and Spirit — worshipful, obedient, courageous.
• The Kingdom is at hand — eternal, advancing, and alive in us.
• The Kingsmen are called — empowered to live boldly and make disciples for the glory of the King.

This year's retreat will feature teaching from our Senior Pastor Gregg Matte, along with our Campus Pastors Leon Brooks III, Jason Swigart, and Malcolm Marshall. Together, they'll help us explore what it means to follow Jesus, live in His Kingdom, and walk together as brothers on mission.

We will also be led in worship by Michael Neale, a Dove Award-winning songwriter, best-selling author, who serves as Pastor of Multisite Experience & Creative at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, TX. Michael is uniquely gifted to lead us into powerful times of worship together. The authentic, earnest worship sets will be designed to call each of us into moments of discovery and declaration to the King of Kings.

From times together in Scripture, worship, and prayer to times together in friendly competitions of pickleball, Ultimate, and shooting, as well as fun connections and brotherhood around the fire, this retreat will remind us: we are not alone, and we are not powerless.

Let's gather, recalibrate, and stand together in the unstoppable truth:

"Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever." - Matthew 6:13
