​

Where is it?

Hosted at Concordia Lutheran Church, Fairhaven, MN

​​

Who is it for? Christian boys and men of all ages. The strength competition will be broken into several divisions based on age.

​

Why? Bodily training is of some value (1 Timothy 4:8), and when we use it to help our training in godliness, it finds its highest purpose. Men are called to be strong in the fulfillment of their duties, and we do best when we band together and build one another up.
