The Men’s Ministry will have their annual retreat October 3-5, 2025 at Meadowkirk Conference and Retreat Center in Middleburg, Virginia, only a 40-minute drive from Sterling.

Join us for the 2025 Men’s Retreat, where you will hear challenging and encouraging messages from Dr. Richard Blackaby on “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God,” 1 Corinthians 10:31. What does it mean to bring glory to God with our lives? During this retreat, Dr. Blackaby will share spiritual truths and practical examples of how men can bring honor to God in every role: husband, father, grandfather, co-worker, church member/leader and more. It should be our goal to live in such a way that others in our lives will be encouraged to follow the Jesus they see us following and serving!

So join the men of RBC and CFC this October for a weekend of great messages, reflection, relaxation and an opportunity to grow closer to our LORD and Savior. One of the great benefits of the retreat is the opportunity to meet and connect with other brothers in Christ. The enemy wants to keep Christian men like you in isolation, forgetting we are new creatures in Christ. God did not intend for us to go it alone. Christ came to radically transform our lives and the lives of those around us. Whether it’s in our families, with co-workers, or friends, Christ wants to use you to reflect and share Him with others. How? Attend the retreat, learn from others, and be encouraged.
