COTR is partnering again with ACF and putting on a one-night Summit style Men’s event at our Wasilla campus.\nThis event is designed to bring the Summit experience to a local level as a midway point from last Summit before our next winter Summit. Just like when we’re up at Victory\, there will be food (Big J’s BBQ)\, games\, competitions\, giveaways (including a custom Semper Sharp knife)\, a panel of great men/leaders to hear from on questions and topics that YOU have\, full worship set\, and more.\nThe event is also designed for you to invite and bring other men who simply can’t or won’t commit to a multi-day weekend up at Victory. We want them to see and experience what the Gospel\, Christian brotherhood\, and Summit are all about.\nJoin us July 7th\, at Wasilla campus from 6:30-8:30pm. There’s a $20 fee which covers your BBQ for the night and the registration automatically enters you for prizes as well.
