Greetings Brothers,

The theme for the 2018 Georgia-Cumberland Conference Men’s Retreat is “Blood Brothers” which is in reference to the restoration of the brotherhood of men through the blood of Jesus Christ.  In a world filled with hate and racial divides we are called to be united in our love for Christ and our love for one another. So, whether your ethnic roots are from Europe, Asia, Africa, or who knows where, we are brothers in Christ! And to this end, we dedicate this weekend.

“Honor all men, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. 1 Peter 2:17

During the weekend you will be refreshed and restored through inspirational music, challenging messages, deep conversations, delicious food, outdoor activities, and much much more!  I can promise you God will show up at the retreat, He always does. So, block your calendar, make plans, pack your bags, let’s go!

Your Blood Brother,

Marty Miller, GCC Men’s Ministry Coordinator

SATURDAY ONLY – $65 

FULL WEEKEND CABIN LODGING – $130

FULL WEEKEND MOTEL LODGING – $190
