WHAT IS MAN CAMP?
Call this a Relaunch of Men’s Ministry with our first annual Illinois District Man Camp – IGNITED!
Join men around the state for a powerful weekend of worship, fellowship, time around the altar, and time around the bonfire.
Men matter, and we have an important role to play, and what God is doing around our communities and around the world.
