Men’s Retreat 2026
April 17–19, 2026 | Lost Canyon, Williams, AZ
Throughout Scripture, God often meets people on a mountain—drawing them away from distraction into quiet places where He speaks with clarity, shapes character, and gives direction. The 2026 Men’s Retreat invites you to step out of the noise and journey upward together, offering space for worship, biblical teaching, honest conversation, and reflection.
Led by men’s pastors from across our Scottsdale Bible campuses, the weekend will offer a shared voice and vision along with meaningful community as we listen for God’s leading and allow Him to work within us.
We’ll return from the mountain renewed, aligned, and ready to move forward with greater clarity, conviction, and purpose.
Registration has closed. For questions, contact Men’s Ministry at: men@scottsdalebible.com

Join us every Tuesday night for a time of biblical teaching, worship, and connection in a community where men are committed to building their faith together. This is the starting point for men at SBC to step into a deeper faith in Jesus. “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17).
Forge (noun, ˈfȯrj) – a workshop where heat is applied to metal until it can be shaped according to the blacksmith’s design.
God uses the unique challenges in each of our lives to shape us into His likeness as we walk with Him. And as we allow Him to shape us, we become useful instruments in His hand to carry out the unique purpose and design He has for our lives.
Livestream and video recordings are available on the SBC Men’s YouTube Page.

Special Needs Buddy (14+ years old)
A Special Needs Buddy will assist a child who has special needs, helping to engage and redirect them throughout the morning activities to ensure a fun and meaningful time at VBS. Special Needs Buddies will receive additional training and tools to support a successful experience with their assigned child.

Junior High Student (JHM) Volunteers will enjoy an entry-level opportunity to serve in the church as helpers to Adult Volunteers.

Depending on the campus you serve, you may have the same craft/activity all five days or you may rotate through five different activities during the week. We prepare crafts, stem activities, and team fun that is simple and engaging for kids in an age-appropriate way.
Games:
Our Games Adult Volunteers will lead kids through games to play every day. We prepare games for age-appropriate groups that are fun, team building, and downright silly! We want all kids to have an opportunity to whoop and holler for the Lord!
