Men’s Breakaway 2023

October 20-22, 2023

God calls men to be the godly heads of their household and to lead with wisdom and truth in this broken world. Take this opportunity to make an intentional step towards deepening your own faith and relationship with God. With time spent outdoors in the fresh Muskoka air, you will find a chance to get away from it all to renew and restore. It’s also a fantastic time to simply get away with the guys for a weekend! Our hope is that this will help refresh your spirit while having a great time building new friendships and camaraderie as we play, pray, worship and learn together.
