SHARPEN: Men's Retreat (August 14-16, 2026)
Please join us for a weekend of spiritual growth, fellowship, and amazing food and fun!
The weekend speaker will be Joey Ruyter, one of the pastors at Austin Ridge Bible Church. Joey has been in full time ministry for 19 years and he is known for having a blend of humor, intensity, and urgency in his communication. He has a passion to see men grow in their relationship with Jesus to become stronger husbands, fathers, and leaders in the workplace. Join us as Joey leads us through the scriptures, and the life of Christ, to discover what it means to grow in our spiritual and emotional maturity to have the most impact in the areas of life God has charged us with stewarding.
