Split Sessions & Powerful Closing Service

9:30 AM

Split Sessions

Saturday morning features three specialized breakout sessions designed to meet men exactly where they are. Choose the session that best fits your life stage and spiritual needs. Each session runs concurrently, so you'll attend one of the following:

Young Men's Session (Ages 8-17)

Led by Pastor Courtney Bennett Jr.

Young men face unique pressures in today's digital world—peer pressure, identity questions, social media influence, and the challenge of standing for truth when culture says otherwise. This session speaks directly to the next generation with relevant, biblical teaching that equips them to be steadfast from a young age.

Pastor Bennett brings energy, authenticity, and practical wisdom that resonates with teens and pre-teens. Topics include developing a personal prayer life, resisting temptation, honoring parents, choosing godly friends, and discovering God's purpose for their lives. This is more than a youth service—it's a call to stand firm when everyone else is falling.

Spanish Session / Sesión en Español

Led by Pastor Larry Romero

Our Spanish-speaking brothers receive dedicated ministry in their heart language. Pastor Larry Romero brings the Word with cultural relevance and spiritual power, addressing the unique challenges Hispanic men face while maintaining their faith, leading their families, and staying rooted in biblical truth.

This session creates a safe space for Spanish-speaking men to worship freely, ask questions, and receive ministry without language barriers. Pastor Romero's message emphasizes the importance of spiritual leadership in the home, passing faith to the next generation, and standing firm in convictions while navigating between two cultures.

General Session

Led by Pastor Kevin Horne

The general session addresses the everyday realities men face in modern life. Pastor Kevin Horne delivers practical, biblical teaching on maintaining spiritual discipline amidst busy schedules, being a godly husband and father, handling workplace pressures, managing finances with integrity, and staying steadfast when culture demands compromise.

This session is ideal for men of all ages who want straightforward, applicable truth they can implement immediately. Pastor Horne doesn't sugarcoat the challenges but provides biblical solutions grounded in Scripture and tested through real-life experience. Expect to leave with actionable steps for living out your faith Monday through Saturday.

10:30 AM

Morning Service (Bilingual)

Pastor Jay Carney Pastor Larry Romero

The conference culminates in a powerful bilingual closing service where all men—regardless of which breakout session they attended—come together as one body. Pastor Jay Carney and Pastor Larry Romero co-lead this service, bringing the Word in both English and Spanish to reflect the diversity and unity of the body of Christ.

This isn't just a closing service—it's a commissioning. After a weekend of teaching, worship, and fellowship, men are sent out with a clear mandate: go back to your homes, churches, workplaces, and communities and stand steadfast. The altar will be open for prayer, rededication, and receiving fresh fire from God.

The bilingual format demonstrates that the call to be steadfast transcends language and culture. Whether you speak English or Spanish, young or old, new believer or seasoned saint, we all stand together under one Lord, serving one mission, united by one Spirit.

"We come together as brothers. We leave as warriors. Stand steadfast."
