The Hangar

A movement centered on engaging men through authentic community to experience the freedom of living fully known by God and others.

Every man has a story. Who he is, where he came from, and where he is going. Understanding our story is crucial to live out the abundant life God has for us. The problem is most men don’t have the awareness or the skills to grasp their story. So most men hide who they truly are and live isolated from deep relationship.

The Hangar is a community of men who are living together in the freedom of being fully known. By revealing your story and receiving love and acceptance, a man is able to step out of hiding. The Hangar invites you to step into this way of life, living connected to God and others with all of your heart, soul and mind. Join us!

What is Hangar Coaching Weekend?

Hangar Coaching Weekend is a unique weekend-long event that helps men gain awareness of their story and experience the healing power of community.

Throughout the weekend, men learn new relationship skills and benefit from interaction with other men. The goal for each participant is to learn how to communicate openly and receive constructive feedback in order to grow in their ability to have deep, healthy relationships.

Hangar Coaching Weekend helped me realize that I am not alone in my struggles. My favorite part is the connection that we all feel apart of here.
