Join us for the Eighth Annual Men’s Retreat, held January 30 through February 1, 2026, at the beautiful Hinton Rural Life Center overlooking Lake Chatuge in Hayesville, North Carolina. This year’s theme, Living a Servant Life, invites us to explore how servant leadership shapes our walk with God and enriches our relationships with others.
Throughout the weekend, we will reflect on key principles of servant leadership inspired by the book Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard, Phil Hodges, and Phyllis Hendry. Together, we will discover how a life of service can become a transformational road that leads to deeper purpose, joy, and connection.
In addition to teaching and discussion, there will be time for community building, personal reflection, great food, and plenty of fun, including relaxed evening fellowship and happy hours with adult beverages. Five meals are included with your registration.
Whether you have attended before or this will be your first retreat, we hope you will join us for a spirit-filled weekend of growth, encouragement, and friendship. Invite a friend. We will all be richer with your presence.
