Word First Men's Conference 2025
In a world saturated with shifting ethics, godless values, and distorted ideas about manhood, the call to live as godly men has never been more urgent. The 2025 WORD First Men’s Conference aims to equip and encourage men with the timeless truths of God’s WORD, enabling them to face today’s challenges with clarity, conviction, and courage.
This packed one-day conference includes three powerful main sessions and three engaging breakout discussions. We’ll explore topics such as purity, leadership in the home, leaving a lasting legacy, addressing cultural challenges like deconstruction, and parenting strategies.
This year, we are honored to have Tony Wood from Mission Bible Church, Costa Mesa, CA, as our keynote speaker, bringing deep biblical insight and practical application to inspire and challenge us to live as men fully surrendered to Christ.
The mission of the WORD First Conference is to equip men through God’s WORD to think and live in a godly manner, standing firm in a world that opposes our Savior. We invite you to join us for a day of looking to God’s WORD first to see how we should live as men of God in a godless generation.
Registration fee – $35 (registration deadline is March 29)
