MANVENTURE 

BECAUSE MEN DON'T RETREAT!

Psalm 115:1, 11
"Not to us O Lord, not to us but to Your name give glory!
You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
    He is their help and their shield."

April 24-25, 2026

New Life Ranch, Flint Valley

What is Manventure?

Manventure is Evergreen Church's annual men's event! For 24 hours, we get away to focus in on brotherhood and serving King Jesus. Come enjoy burgers, brats, worship, fellowship, and teaching from God's Word that will challenge and charge you to answer the call God has on your life as a man of God!

Our focus is Evergreen Men teaching Evergreen Men. Come hear testimonies and messages from the very men you go to Sunday School with and worship next to every week! Stand shoulder to shoulder with men who are passionate about following Jesus in their own lives and strengthening His church as we deploy back home. 

Who's Invited?

Manventure is for the men who are curious about Jesus, serious about following Jesus, and everywhere in between!  Men 7th grade** and up are invited to join us for Manventure! Come join us and get encouraged and equipped to go back home and lead your families and churches as God has charged us to as men!

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." 

Hebrews 10:23

Breakouts

Trusting the King...

...In the Storm
Garrett Weir

Psalm 115:11 says, "You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
    He is [your] help and [your] shield."

What does it look like to have peace in the Lord, no matter the circumstances? If you find yourself in an onslaught of trials and difficulties, this breakout is for you! Can we really have peace beyond understanding? Yes!
...In the Harvest
Greg Barnhart

Luke 16:10a says, "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much"

Sometimes it's difficult to remember that we are working with the Lord's resources and not our own. Come hear from one business owner about what that looks like practically in the day-to-day use of the resources we have. 
...In the Charge
Jon Tate

1 Corinthians 16:3 says, "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong."

Whether you're making disciples or raising disciples, we are called to teach what we've learned. In a culture that tries to defines "man" 1,000 different ways, a father shares the real-world stories of how he is calling his sons into biblical manhood. Take these tools home to call others into biblical manhood...or maybe even venture there yourself!

Honor the King...

...In the Courts
David Bennett

Colossians 3 reminds us that we ought to work diligently and for the Lord. This applies to the way we serve within the body of Christ. Sometimes, the most important and necessary members are the ones we don't often see. How do we remember our importance when we're the ones behind the scenes? David shares how there is honor in the humble service to the body of Christ. 
...At the Gates
Bret Jackson

Loving your neighbor goes beyond your residence, it moves into your business and community. Motivated by love and demonstrating honesty, integrity, and honesty, Bret Jackson shares practical suggestions on how to introduce the Gospel to people in your workplace. Reminding us that we are called to work as unto the Lord (Col 3), to testify of His grace, and reflect the heart of God to others in all circumstances. 
...In the Bedroom
Pastor Philip Jackson

What does true intimacy look like in marriage? Is it about how often you sleep together, how much you kiss, if you'd ace a test about your wife? Or is it something more?

Come hear what God's Word says how an intimate, covenant relationship of "one flesh" looks like.
