April 18-21: Men’s Spring Fishing Retreat

This weekend is for serious fishermen with their own boats (or BYO Friend with a boat).  Whether you're a bass fisherman like Pastor Eric, a crappie or walleye guy, or a musky fisherman, we invite you to join us for 3 full days of fishing with the guys, plus church at Free Grace United Eldora on Sunday, April 21!

The plan: Each day (Thursday-Saturday), we will send boats to 5-10 area lakes (Beeds, Briggs Woods, Brushy Creek, Bluebill, Pleasant Creek, Rock Creek, Union Grove, Upper & Lower Pine and several more), along with maps & coaching on how to fish them. 

*Registrants will receive an email prior to the weekend with more info about what to pack & what gear to bring.

Hosted by: Pastor Eric Dykstra

 Pastor Eric has been passionate about fishing since he was seven, when his grandfather gave him his first cane pole and took him down to the farm pond in Iowa. Over the years he has become proficient at fishing for largemouth & smallmouth bass. Besides his love for Jesus, his wife & kids, it is his favorite thing in life. And he always says, “Remember, the disciples were fishermen. It’s the ONLY Biblical sport!”
