FOR CHURCH LEADERS & MEN’S MINISTRY TEAMS
Help Your Men Take the Step That Changes Everything
Strengthen the Men in Your Church — One Weekend Away
The Priority One Men’s Weekend is a powerful, proven way to help men reconnect with God, build meaningful relationships, and take steps toward spiritual growth that carry back into the life of your church.
For nearly 40 years, churches across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and beyond have used this weekend as a strategic catalyst for their men’s ministry.
This is more than an event — it’s a tool you can leverage to strengthen your men all year long.

HOW THIS WEEKEND BENEFITS YOUR CHURCH
This weekend strengthens your church by cultivating stronger marriages, as men return more present, intentional, and prayerful. It leads to healthier families, with fatherhood taking on renewed purpose and joy. Men experience deeper community, forming the friendships they’ve long been seeking, and many demonstrate increased involvement, often stepping into leadership roles after the retreat. The weekend also brings spiritual renewal, with men coming home reconnected to Jesus and eager to grow. Throughout it all, groups experience greater unity as they bond through shared meals, sessions, and activities.
