Disciples Men
But you, man of God, flee from all this and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. (1 Timothy 6: 11)
The Men’s Ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in KY seeks to encourage men in their walk with God. Beyond that, it is our goal to equip and empower men for faithful ministry in their congregations as pastors, elders, deacons, Sunday School teachers, and other leadership roles in the church.
Men’s Spiritual Life Retreat
One of the ways we seek to accomplish this goal is through our Men’s Spiritual Life Retreat. We gather for three days of fellowship, prayer, and Bible study, through which each one is blessed for his journey of faith and ministry in Christ’s church.
This year’s Men’s Spiritual Life Retreat will be themed around “Men of Faith.” Together, we will look at some of the heroes of the Old Testament and explore what they can teach us about spirituality and our relationship with God.
The Men’s Spiritual Life Retreat will take place July 25-27 at Saint Meinrad’s in Meinrad, Indiana.
Retreat cost is $279, including registration, lodging, and meals.
The deadline to register is July 21.
Regional Men’s Choral Retreat
Since 1994 the Christian Church in Kentucky has offered the men of the Region the “Singing From the Back Row” retreat. The 2024 retreat was held in Lexington and hosted by Crestwood Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Nearly 60 men gathered for three days of singing, food and fellowship. The highlight was performing for Sunday worship with the gracious people of Crestwood.
Over the years the chorus has been privileged to commission five anthems for men’s voices. The fifth anthem, memorializing John Elkins from Clintonville and one of the founders of the chorus, was premiered during the service. John was certainly missed but his presence was felt in family members and the new music. There was nary a dry eye.
The 2026 Regional Men’s Choral Retreat will take place January 23-25, 2026 at First Christian Church, Glasgow. Registration is $65 – lodging and apparel not included. We will be singing at Sunday morning worship at FCC, Glasgow.
Lodging reservations can be made at Barren River Lake State Resort Park in Lucas, Kentucky. Call (270) 646-2151 for the KRMC Rate, or use Group Code 5086 at the link below.
