More information and registration

Registration for the 2018 Salem Men's Retreat is open!

This year, we welcome Bethany Lutheran College Professor Allen Quist. He will be leading us in an introduction to apologetics, the art and science of defending the reasonableness of the Christian faith.

New Location! Camp Croix

 

This year the Men's Retreat will be held at Camp Croix in Danbury WI, just a little over two hours northeast of the Twin Cities. Supported by WELS churches, surrounded by 160 acres of forest, and boasting 2,100 feet of lakeshore along Lake Rooney, it hosts camps and events throughout the year. Sleeping accommodations include the lodge and four-bunk cabins. Connections are available for RVs.

We also take a moment to thank Dan and Karen Scholz for 10 years of hosting the Men's Retreat at Beacon Shores.

Speaker: Allen Quist


Allen Quist is Adjunct Professor of Apologetics at Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary, Mankato, Minnesota, and is also a member of the Committee on Doctrine for the Evangelical Lutheran Synod. He has published three previous books on apologetics and has written numerous magazine and journal articles in this field as well. While serving as a professor at Bethany Lutheran College, Quist taught a course in apologetics called The Case for Christianity. Read more here.
