Adventure, Character, Leadership
Why does this exist?
There is a desperate need for our boys to be developed into men. Our boys have a desperate need to find a pack of other boys who will challenge them to become men of character and service. Our boys to rise above the ME culture that pervades our society and learn to be servant hearted leaders. Our boys need to have a space where fathers can intentionally focus on their relationships with their sons. Our boys need to have a space where other men can teach and train them in how to become men who walk worthy lives before God. The boys need a space to know their God given energy is a gift and is to be used for His glory.
What we’re about
Our Mission is to build a Christ centered community of men to guide the next generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.
What is Trail LIfe?
Trail Life is a Church-Based, Christ-Centered, Boy-Focused mentoring and discipleship journey that speaks to the heart of a boy.
