Information You Need to Know
The NBCF Men’s Retreat is an annual event designed to help men step away from the routine, grow in God’s Word, and build lasting friendships through worship, teaching, and prayer. We are so excited for all that God has prepared for us at this year’s NBCF Men’s Retreat!
We will have a brief meeting in the sanctuary immediately after service on Sunday, August 16th, before departing for the castle. At that time, we’ll go over transportation—who’s driving and who needs a ride—to make sure everyone gets there safely.
You can plan to stop for lunch on the way to the castle at a place of your choosing.
Please note that lunch on the way to the castle is not included in the retreat cost.
If you have not yet paid for the retreat, please do so at the Information Table by Sunday, August 16th, before departing for the Castle. The cost is $160.
We’re looking forward to a powerful and refreshing time together!
