Embrace Men's Summit

The Embrace Men's Summit is an annual gathering for men who long to experience the love of God, grow as healthy disciples, and make disciples—one man at a time.

At this summit, men embrace one another as brothers in Christ and encourage each other to become Marvel Men.

The Summit offers a space for personal transformation, deep fellowship, and practical equipping to lead with faith, courage, and conviction.

It’s the only summit for men, by men, within the context of Chinese churches in North America.

Over the course of four days, we:
