Men’s Conference
“It’s Good To Be A Man”
God’s Plan for Men and Masculinity
October 3-5, 2025
Pine Valley Men’s Conference is designed to allow men to step out of their current context, encounter Biblical teaching, and interact with other men on the same journey. We provide space for church groups to gather and process as a small group as well as a number of activities for men coming on their own.
Individuals, Sunday School classes, men’s groups, father and son(s) (ages 12 and older), are all invited and we encourage you to bring your friends with whom the Christian faith is new or unfamiliar as there will be a clear gospel presentation.
