True community happens in proximity.
2025 Gatherings
KINSMEN: TABLE
Table is our invite-only gatherings for men, centered on building relational community. These evenings are a combination of breaking of bread, song, teaching, scripture, learning, honoring and inspired fellowship. Hospitality is at the heart of these gatherings, and so the emphasis is creating space for men to come and be. Kinsmen: Table gatherings are funded by generous donors within one’s community. If you’re interested in rallying the men in your local community in a way few have experienced before, connect with us to explore this possibility.
In 2025, we’re planning three Table (March, June, November) gatherings in the Springfield, MO area. We’re also collaborating with some select cities to host KINSMEN: Table gatherings in 2025.
Including: Topeka, KS in April - Denver, CO in October - and the possibility of DFW / Austin / Waco in October
KINSMEN: Nights
The need to create space for men to gather is essential. KINSMEN: Nights are a relaxed version of our table gatherings. We curate the space, provide a timely topic for discussion, and let men converse. Firepits, great coffee, and an environment to connect with friends are our focus for these gatherings. Registration and location vary, but these gatherings are exclusive to the Springfield, MO area currently.
In 2025, we’re planning the following KINSMEN: Nights - Registration coming soon
May 2025 - Father / Son emphasis
August 2025 - Young Adult emphasis
KINSMEN: FORUM
KINSMEN: Forum - The purpose behind Forum is to activate and commission men in the marketplace. At Forum, we exchange ideas, wrestle through current events, apply scriptural context, as well as hear from trailblazers locally and elsewhere. Think TEDx + KINSMEN + Discipleship in the SGF. Forum is for the decision-maker, the entrepreneurially-minded, ambitious, driven…....yet surrendered, Gospel-driven, follower of Jesus. Forum meets monthly because gathering, praying, learning, challenging and inspiring one another…consistently...with intentionality...is transformational. Our current season has been sold out through Summer of 2025.
A new KINSMEN: Forum will launch in September 2025.
KINSMEN: Summit
KINSMEN: Summit - Our summit gathering can best be described as a combination of lavish hospitality, timely and thought provoking dialogue, meaningful connection, and Ozark's beauty. Hosted at the premier resort in the midwest, Big Cedar Lodge is the quintessential setting for this annual gathering of nearly one hundred leaders who are directly interested and involved in the spiritual formation of men across the country and the world. Topics center on Faith, Fatherhood, and Work, with ample time for connection and reflection. Past speakers include Jon Tyson, Aaron Renn, Pete Ochs and Richard Reeves.
2025 Summit will be held at Top of the Rock / Big Cedar Lodge on Sunday, September 21st - Tuesday, September 23rd. This event is very limited and the proceeds from each ticket purchased will be used toward furthering the vision of KINSMEN.
Registration coming in March 2025. Individual tickets will be $2,750.00
