At the 1613 Men’s Conference, speakers share insights from their personal experiences and intimate relationships with Jesus Christ, all firmly rooted in Biblical truth.
The sessions are crafted to equip and inspire men by strengthening their personal faith and walk with Christ. You'll be challenged and encouraged in vital areas such as modeling authentic Christian faith and godly masculinity amid today's cultural pressures, engaging in spiritual warfare, deepening prayer lives, and applying Scripture to everyday challenges. (1 Cor 16:13-14)

Through powerful personal testimonies and practical examples from the speakers, attendees gain valuable, actionable wisdom that is relevant across key life roles, including Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Leader, Coworker, Church member & Community Member. (Matthew 5:13-16)

No, the 1613 Men’s Conference is not affiliated with any particular denomination. It's deliberately non-denominational, designed to bring together men from diverse Christian backgrounds in unity. 1613 is focused on complementing local churches and pastors by inspiring participants to deepen their faith, lead their families spiritually, and actively engage in their home congregations, regardless of denominational lines.
