Cubs/Sox Crosstown Classic - May 16, 2026
On May 16th almost 200 men will meet for food, prayer and fellowship and to cheer on the Cubs and Sox in the Crosstown Classic. It will be a testimony of God's grace, that in this world, with so much division, diverse Christian men can meet in love with one another. Here's a video clip from last year's event:

Unity Picnic - June 20, 2026
Put your love into action by joining us to serve the South Suburbs of Chicago as we host a block party for the families of Markham. The Markham Park District has invited us to expand this event from last year and use it for local outreach. This event was a big hit last year and both volunteers and families had a blast!
6th Annual Men’s Retreat - September 4-6, 2026
Join us for our 6th Annual Men's Unity Conference on September 4-6th, 2026 at Conference Point, Williams Bay (Lake Geneva, WI).
The speaker will be Dr George Yancey, Professor of Sociology, at Baylor University. His specialty is racial diversity and the church. He's the author of more than 20 books including: Beyond Racial Division, 2022, IVP. He will challenge you to grow in your thinking about how we can change race relations in the church to build unity instead of division.
This event is a unique opportunity for men of different races to learn, fellowship and grow together. It's a fun, enriching way to be part of getting to know people who are not like you and be changed by their stories.
5th Annual Men’s Retreat
This is a good time for men who want to help to pursue healthy relationships that build bridges across the many barriers that can divide us. Is there one or more of these events that would work for you to connect with like-hearted men and actively support our vision to build multi-ethnic community?
Because Christ wants us to work it out
The Bible paints a beautiful picture of how God desires that his children live as one. In fact, Jesus prayed this prior to going to the cross.
But we live in a divided world. It’s complex and there aren’t easy answers. When it comes to racial issues facing the church, we’re dealing with problems that go back 400 years. It’s easy to want to ignore the inequality in our world or simply wash our hands of the problems.
Jesus calls us to something different. We don’t fully know what this can look like, but we want to try. For our 4th Unity retreat we built on what has been done in our past events to bring men together to face tough realities so that real solutions can start to emerge.
We realize that we need to understand the problem to effectively respond with solutions. We spent time learning what is preventing unity and our guest speakers leaned on their experience to help us work towards unity and being involved in the solution. We looked at how each of us can help build bridges, focus on relationships, engage in friendships, and pray for one another. We humbly seek something better for our Christian brothers.
Our focus is to look ahead and the solid hope we have in Christ! There was time for open and honest dialog with others. And of course, there was opportunity for fun, great eating, relaxation, and time of solitude with God along the beautiful shore of Lake Geneva.
