Beliefs & Mission
Deaf Men: Lean On God is an annual retreat designed to encourage and strengthen Godly men in their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. This event brings together Deaf, Hard of Hearing, CODA, and hearing Godly men in a Christ-centered environment where communication is accessible and meaningful.
Throughout the retreat, participants experience Biblical teaching, group discussions, worship, and fellowship that foster spiritual growth and authentic connection. Whether attending for the first time or returning, Godly men are welcomed into a supportive community where they can be encouraged, challenged, and refreshed.
Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:16
Our Vision

There are also several enjoyable recreational activities, including cornhole, disc golf, hiking, board games, and an evening devotional bonfire.
The purpose of Deaf Men: Lean On God is to help godly men grow closer to the Lord and provide a safe place for participants to share their thoughts and feelings.
