Calling all men
A new venue
You're invited to Strive 2026, our third annual men's conference. This year is focused on the theme “Where Is Your Treasure?” from Matthew 6:21. On October 31, men from across Southern Ontario will gather for a focused day of biblical teaching, worship, honest conversation, and brotherhood.
After two years in Smithville, we're moving to Redeemer University in Ancaster so more men can attend. Come ready to examine your heart, be sharpened by Scripture, and return to your home, church, and work with renewed purpose. This is more than a conference. It is a call to strive after what lasts.
