This Is Where That Changes

Upon This Rock: Forging Men for the Future is a powerful retreat experience for young men and the men who walk beside them.

It is intentionally designed to:

• Strengthen the bond between a young man and his father or trusted mentor

• Help form boys into men grounded in faith, strength, and purpose

• Create space to encounter Christ in a real and lasting way

• Provide clarity, encouragement, and direction in a confusing world

• Build memories and conversations that continue long after the weekend ends

What Young Men Need… and What They’ll Find Here

Silence

In a world filled with constant noise, young men will learn how to be still, listen, and hear the voice of God.

Brotherhood

They will stand alongside other young men pursuing strength, virtue, and purpose, discovering they are not alone in the journey.

Formation

Through guided talks, meaningful experiences, and honest reflection, they will begin to understand what it means to be a man of faith, discipline, and character.

Encounter

Most importantly, they will meet Christ, not as an idea or distant figure, but as a living presence who knows them, loves them, and calls them forward.

Spots Are Limited

This is an intentionally small and focused experience.
Each retreat is limited to preserve depth, connection, and impact.

Don’t Wait

Young Men are being formed right now.

The only question is -  by what?
