Men's Summit Scheduled for October 28-30

October 10, 2022

Men from across the conference gather for fun and fellowship at Camp MiVoden.

Join us at Camp MiVoden for the Upper Columbia Conference Men's Summit; a weekend of spiritual renewal, fun, and fellowship on October 28-30, 2022.


After two years, the UCC Men’s Summit is back. Join us the last weekend

in October for the beginning of the greatest adventure of your life. Greg Phillips writes, “Learning to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading will take you places you never imagined and unlock the identity that God has for you — an unbreakable Father–son connection.” Romans 8:14-15 says, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba, Father!’”
