Men's Summit 2025

March 14-16

Camp Mivoden

Greetings Brothers,

Welcome to the 2025 Built for Freedom UCC Men’s Summit. We are glad you are here and are confident you will be blessed by the time you spend with other men who desire to become free in Christ. 

You were “Built for Freedom,” not the freedom that the world offers, but the true freedom that is found only in Jesus Christ!

Our key text for the weekend is John 8:32 which provides the “secret” ingredient to living in freedom.

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

~ Jesus Christ

The secret is simply “knowing the truth.” This “knowing” is a deep intimate relationship with Jesus Christ who is “the way, the TRUTH, and the life.” When you truly know Jesus, you will walk in freedom. It sounds so simple, so easy, yet very few men experience this deep relationship with God and therefore very few men experience this level of freedom. 

When a man has a daily walk with God, trusts Him with all that he is, all that he has, his life is full of joy, peace, and power! But you can’t live in freedom riding the fence or by being lukewarm. You must be ALL IN!

So glad you are here and can’t wait to see how God shows up this weekend. He always does!
