CrossRidge hosted our annual Men’s Conference February 9–10. We welcomed 90 men for fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. With the theme “Stand Strong,” inspired by Daniel 1 and 3, the conference aimed to empower men to fortify their faith and resilience with boldness in the face of life’s challenges.
Daniel 1 and 3 provided a rich backdrop for exploration, focusing particularly on the steadfastness of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in their unwavering commitment to God. Through insightful teachings from Pastor Marc Farnell and small group table discussions, the men gleaned valuable lessons on maintaining spiritual integrity and courageously standing firm.
No gathering or fellowship is complete without food! With sizzling fajitas courtesy of Mi Luna Tex-Mex, breakfast tacos from Rudy’s BBQ, and sandwiches from Jersey Mike’s Subs, the conference nourished both body and soul.
A special thanks to the following individuals for making Men’s Conference a resounding success:
· Table leaders for facilitating discussion groups and fostering meaningful connections and deeper insights.
· Kyle Stone and John Wolfe for spearheading the logistical aspects of the conference, ensuring everything ran smoothly from setup to execution.
· Kristin Bewley, Andrea Weinstein, Kisha Bello, and Katherine Ulch for serving dinner.
· Coby McCormick for orchestrating engaging team-building games.
· The CrossRidge Worship Team and CrossRidge Student Worship Team for creating an atmosphere of praise and helping the men encounter God’s presence.
As the echoes of fellowship and inspiration linger, we look forward to continuing our mission of empowering men to stand strong in their faith, equipped to navigate life’s challenges with courage, conviction, and unwavering trust in God.
