Thirty churches from Flagler County and the surrounding areas assembled for the annual Man Up Conference on Friday, Jan. 27, at Palm Coast Community Church.

Over 300 men enjoyed barbeque, throwing the football, shooting hoops and playing games of corn hole. But, the gathering was centered on the last few hours of the evening, listening to former NBA Orlando Magic Keith Tower, now lead pastor of High Point Church in Orlando.

“He really connected with the men,” said John Williams, the area director for Man in the Mirror. “He applied both humorous stories and real-life challenges from his basketball career to biblical principles.”

The event was constructed by a team effort from the Man in the Mirror, Palm Coast Community Church (host), Epic Church, Lifecoast Church, Parkview Baptist Church and First Baptist Church of Palm Coast.

“It was a real bonding time of building relationships in community with other men,” Williams added.
