The Apostle Paul uses the imagery of a “soldier” to describe the unique role God has given men. We will examine various aspects of what it is to soldier for Christ, in our own hearts, in our family, our church, and in the world. Join us at Ironmen Summit Owasso as we give special attention to the kind of devotedness, self-discipline, and “under command” kind of lives that are required to fulfill this role.

FAQ
ARE THERE ID OR MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENTS TO ENTER THE EVENT?
Ironmen Summit Owasso is designed as a “men only” conference. Although there is no official age limit, we would suggest a minimum age of 15…however, fathers may exercise their own judgement as to the maturity level of their own sons.
WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH MY REGISTRATION?
Registration includes admission to the conference, as well as breakfast and lunch served on site. Coffee and bottled water will also be available throughout the day. Each attendee will also receive a free book (yet to be determined) at the conference.
WHAT ARE MY TRANSPORTATION / PARKING OPTIONS FOR GETTING TO AND FROM THE EVENT?
Parking will be available at the conference site and immediate area. Parking Assistants will direct you as you approach the conference location. Owasso is located approximately 10 miles north of Tulsa, OK.
WHAT CAN I BRING TO THE EVENT?
Definitely bring a prepared heart to be encouraged and challenged to live as the father, son, and/or husband God has called you to be. We would also encourage you to bring a Bible in some form (e.g. physical or electronic). Free pens and commemorative notebooks will be available, but you may want to bring your own for note taking, etc.
IS THERE A DRESS CODE?
Not really. Business casual to casual is fine. We would suggest bringing a jacket, just in case. Oklahoma weather– especially in February– is anyone’s guess.
HOW CAN I CONTACT THE ORGANIZER WITH ANY QUESTIONS?
Questions should be sent directly to:
Keith Whitfield
Email: ironmenowasso@gmail.com
WHAT IS THE REFUND POLICY?
Full refunds are available up to two (2) days prior to the event. We understand that “life happens,” so if you have a situation that prevents you from attending, that falls within that time period, please contact us. We will work with you to come up with an agreeable solution.
