THE RETREAT 2026

October 8 - 11 , 2026

NORTHWEST ARkansas

What to Expect

❋ Faith-Centered Community

ALIGN is a Christian retreat rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Expect time in Scripture, prayer, and honest conversations about following Christ in everyday life—regardless of where you are in your faith journey.

❋ Purposeful Challenge

Growth rarely happens inside our comfort zones. Throughout the weekend you'll participate in physical challenges designed to push you beyond your everyday routine - not to prove yourself to others, but to build resilience, see what you’re capable of, and to create opportunities for growth alongside other men.

❋ Interactive Workshops

This isn't a weekend of lectures. Through guided workshops, small-group discussions, and personal reflection, you'll wrestle with meaningful questions about your faith, relationships, purpose, and the man you're becoming.

❋ Brotherhood

There's something powerful about doing hard things together. Whether you're tackling a physical challenge, sharing your story, or encouraging another man, the weekend is designed to build authentic relationships that often extend well beyond the retreat.
