Sons of Silas Retreat

Purpose of Sons of Silas

The goal of Sons of Silas Retreat is to provide an atmosphere of positive Christian encouragement for all pastors and church staff members. This retreat addresses help with problems and difficulties unique to those serving in positions of spiritual leadership in their area of ministry.

The Sessions

Dr. Dennis Swanberg will be this years presenter. Dr. Swanberg is a nationally known speaker and author. In two sessions (Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning), Dr. Swanberg will be discussing the concepts in his new book, The ManCode. The mission of The ManCode is to provide men with keys to unlocking a balanced life to strengthen their relationship with God, their advisors, their friends, their church, their community... and ultimately their world. Monday night, Dr. Swanberg will let loose with some of his down-home humor. Registered participants may bring one guest to the Monday evening session.
