The Men's Advance is a two-day meeting for the men of independent Baptist churches in northern Minnesota and the surrounding area. We enjoy some manly fellowship, fun shooting, great food, and powerful preaching. It's like a retreat, but real men don't retreat - they advance!

​

This year's main speaker will be Pastor Joe Decker of

South Campbell Avenue Baptist Church in Springfield , Missouri.
