WHY THIS CONFERENCE EXISTS
The Sharpen Men’s Conference exists to lead men into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ—introducing Him to some and strengthening others—so they can: Pursue purity in a distracted world. Lead their homes with humility and courage. Invest in future generations. Make an eternal impact in the marketplace.
This is not about hype.
It’s about formation.
It’s about calling men to follow Jesus with clarity, conviction, and community.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This conference is designed for: Men who are new to faith or curious about Jesus. Men who have followed Christ for years but need sharpening. Men’s groups, discipleship groups, and leadership teams. Pastors and churches looking to strengthen the men in their congregation. Any man 16 yrs or older who is looking to grow stronger.
Whether a man feels confident or worn down, engaged or drifting—there is a seat at the table.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Real Food
We will have an amazing lunch together...think the best breakfast sandwiches you ever had, smoked sausage, fresh fruit, sides and so much more.
Real Fellowship
Men from across EFCA East—different churches, different stories, one shared pursuit of Christ.
Real Formation
Powerful speakers and biblical teaching focused on: Identity and purpose. Integrity and purity. Leadership in the home and workplace. Faith that lasts beyond Sunday.
This is a day designed to encourage men without coddling them and challenge them without shaming them.
A WORD TO PASTORS & LEADERS
This conference is built to serve your church, not compete with it. Our goal is simple:
Help you send your men home stronger, more grounded, and more committed to Christ and His Church. Bring your men’s group. Bring your leaders. Bring the men who don’t usually sign up for events. You’ll feel the impact long after the day is over.
