Iron Sharpens Iron - Men's Equipping Conference
Iron Sharpens Iron is a Conference Network made up of individual ministries that are working interdependently to most effectively offer local church resources for men. We are doing this by mobilizing ministries to resource local churches with a first class one-day equipping conference that is designed for men (age 13 and older).
The Northwest Men's Coalition (NWMC) is priviledged to be your regional host for this national men's conference taking place at New Hope Community Church in Happy Valley, Oregon. It is our commitment to provide you and the men from your church with a world-class resource that exalts Jesus Christ and builds into your life.
