Check out the small group opportunities and upcoming events below!
Men’s Kickoff
Thursday, Sept. 3rd | 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Men, join us for an evening of great food, meaningful connection, and opportunities to grow in your faith alongside other men at Lake Forest Church.
We’ll share the vision for Forge Men’s Ministry and introduce the Bible studies, discipleship groups, and opportunities available this fall. You’ll also have the chance to learn more about and register for our upcoming Men’s Retreat.
Come hungry—we’ll enjoy a delicious taco bar with all the sides and fixings while connecting with other men and discovering ways to take your next step in faith and community. Whether you’re new to Lake Forest or already involved, this is a great opportunity to find your place, build relationships, and get connected for the season ahead.
Food. Fellowship. Purpose. We hope to see you there!
Men's DAWG Day
It’s hard to know where to start and how to keep distraction out. We want to help. During this Day Alone with God on the lake, Pastor Scott (our Discipleship Pastor) will guide you in how to intentionally schedule, slow down, and create meaningful moments of solitude that deepen your relationship with Jesus. You’ll also enjoy small group time, lunch together, and several guided opportunities to spend quiet, focused time alone with God.
Men’s Adventure Summit
November 13-15, 2026
What does it actually look like to follow Jesus Monday through Friday?
Too often, faith can feel compartmentalized, something we practice on Sundays but struggle to integrate into our work, leadership, and daily responsibilities. This year’s Men’s Retreat is designed to close that gap.
Join the men of Lake Forest Church at the Blue Ridge Assembly for a focused, intentional weekend as we explore what it means to live as disciples of Jesus in the workplace. Whether you’re in business, education, healthcare, skilled trades, ministry, or somewhere in between, this retreat will help you connect your faith to your calling.
