Scotland & Kentucky Men's Retreats 2026

$ 350.00

Three Days of Theology, Worship & Tasting Sessions ...

If you are a gentleman who appreciates theology and fine whisky, we are hosting two small, exclusive retreats both in Edinburgh, Scotland and Bardstown, Kentucky in 2026. Back by popular demand, our Gentlemen's Retreats always fill up early, months in advance - space is extremely limited. (Some retreats have sold out in one week!)

Our Scotland retreat will feature worship leader Godfrey Birtill, and our American retreat will include worship leader Warren Sylvester. This unique getaway is designed to provide a few days of informal hang out, living room conversations and personal one-on-one interaction as we explore the mystical gospel of the Triune God of grace.

Glean some intimate time with John, Baxter and many familiar friends with mini-lectures, Q&A, live music and ... well ... a few healthy drams of fine hooch. Holy Spirit is moving to awaken us back to the Trinitarian faith, returning us to a Gospel of pure grace and supernatural experience, rooted in the Christological union of God and mankind championed by the early church fathers. Be part of the discussion! The only difficult decision is which location you choose to attend.

Come aside, treat yourself to a holiday and dive into rich discussion in an atmosphere of joy unspeakable ... in historic Scotland or picturesque Americana.
