Men

Building Faith and Brotherhood

HISmen is a ministry of encouragement and connection for men and
boys based out of Dayspring Church.

The purpose of HISmen is to serve men by encouraging them, challenging them to go further, equipping and training them to excel, resourcing them, and providing opportunity for practical adventure and experience.

"HIS" stands for Honour, Integrity, Spirit. Three essential ingredients in a healthy man's makeup.

The HISmen Ministry offers a variety of opportunities for equipping, fellowship, prayer and ministry. We welcome men of all ages, from boys to men aged 100+.

We have been meeting together since 2008. It is a strong band of brothers that welcomes all men who are interested in experiencing great fellowship and encouragement. Come on the adventure with us!

Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man. It’s the thing your heart craves, it's part of your calling from God. We were created to live fully delighting in and trusting God. As John Eldredge puts it "He (God) rigged the world in such a way that it only works when we embrace risk as the theme of our lives, only when we live by faith. A man just won't be happy until he's got adventure in his work, in his love, and in his spiritual life, because life is not a problem to be solved but an adventure to be lived!"

The heart of the Getaway weekend and of the HISmen ministry generally, is to grow the Kingdom of God by building our community of men, to see more and more of our hearts restored in Him so that we bring a Godly and healthy masculinity to women, children, our church, workplace and community. We seek to raise our sons in Him our Heavenly Father, and to foster Honour, Integrity and Spirit in our lives.

The Getaway, now in its 15th consecutive year, is an annual weekend retreat for the men and boys of Dayspring, and their guests. The event is always held on the second weekend of November from Friday night to Sunday afternoon.  

This year's Getaway is 7th to 9th November 2025.
