A New Season. A New Purpose. Because life doesn’t retire.
Retirement isn’t the end of the road—it’s a new chapter filled with opportunity. Whether you’ve recently retired or are just beginning to think about what’s next, this group is for men who want to make the most of these years. It’s for those who want to live intentionally, grow spiritually, and finish well.
We believe God still has great things in store for you.
What You Can Expect
- Meaningful Conversations: We explore God’s Word together and apply it to this unique phase of life.
- Real Fellowship: Build strong friendships with other men walking a similar path.
- Purposeful Living: Discover how your experience, wisdom, and time can be used to make a lasting impact—in your family, your church, and your community.
- Plenty of Laughter: This isn’t a solemn group—we believe joy, fun, and encouragement are essential parts of finishing well.
Why Join This Group?
Because retirement isn’t just about slowing down. It’s about showing up. For your faith. For your family. For each other.
Whether you’re looking for friendship, direction, encouragement, and conversation—you’ll find it here.
Come as you are. No need to sign up.
We’re saving you a seat—and looking forward to walking this journey with you.
