Men’s Breakaway | Forward 2026
May 22-24, 2026
God calls men to be the head of their household and to lead with wisdom and truth. Our world today is increasingly pushing biblical manhood to the side – it can be confusing for guys to figure out what to do and how to lead in a world like this. Men’s Breakaway | Forward is all about countering that message of passivity and giving up – join us for a weekend in the incredible beauty of Muskoka as we tackle hard questions, fighting for truth while loving graciously and leading well. Whether you’re looking for a weekend away with a group of men or to connect with your son or father, our plan is to encourage you while you deepen your commitment to God and build godly community and friendships.

Scott Vanderform
Read about Scott Vanderform
Scott grew up a southern Ontario kid who came to know the Lord as a young boy hearing the gospel preached in a Sunday evening service. Through his years as a young man he would slip into selfish ungodliness and graciously find the kindness of the Lord draw Him back into deep relationship with Him. He has had the privilege of being discipled by his father as well as a few other men in His life who taught him the value of hard work for the Lord, walking daily with the Lord, and living with a healthy fear of the Lord. Scott is married 21 years to Rebecca and has three wonderful children who he loves to spend time with. He owns and runs a furniture manufacturing business while using his gift of preaching as the Lord provides opportunity. At his local church (Redemption Bible Chapel London) Scott is part of the preaching team, invested in discipleship ministry, and is passionate about seeing others grow in fruitfulness for the kingdom of God.

Don’t Miss Out
You won’t want to miss out on this amazing weekend. Invite your sons, fathers, and other friends and family!
The Prayer Room is Open!
At Muskoka Bible Centre, the breathtaking beauty of God’s creation invites reflection, renewal, and a deeper connection with Him. Free from the noise and busyness of daily life, we have the space to listen, seek, and draw near to the Lord.
Prayer is woven into the very fabric of MBC. Many of our retreats feature a Prayer Room—a peaceful, welcoming sanctuary where you can commune with God and rest in His presence. Whether you seek solitude, a moment of shared prayer with a friend, or the compassionate support of our trained Biblical Care staff, the Prayer Room is a space designed for you to encounter God.
Faith begins with a single prayer—an earnest cry for God’s saving grace. As we journey with Him, prayer remains vital, sustaining and strengthening our walk. Here, you can lay down your burdens, refresh your spirit, and pour out your heart to the One who knows and loves you completely.
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you."
— 1 Peter 5:7
Bringing a Group? We’re Here to Help.
Gathering others for an MBC Retreat creates space for renewal, connection, and time with Jesus—and we want to make it easy for you.
You’ll get access to planning tools, promo support, and a dedicated contact to walk with you every step of the way—plus, enjoy a little thank-you gift just for putting it all together!
