Hammer Night
Chosenforthebattle.
A night for men at Calvary Church in Naperville. Great food, competition, giveaways, and God's Word.
Men of Chicagoland
This isn't just another event.
HAMMER Night is a night for men, designed to challenge, sharpen, and strengthen you. Expect great food (including plenty of bacon), competitive activities, interactive moments, and dynamic speakers who bring truth, encouragement, and real-life application.
The men of Scripture didn't avoid the struggle; they stepped into it. David faced Goliath when others shrank back. Elijah stood firm on truth. Nehemiah rebuilt the walls despite opposition. These men weren't spectators. Neither are we.
Why the name HAMMER?
“Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29)
Just like a hammer shapes and strengthens, this night is about God's Word breaking through what's hard and forming men from the inside out: men who live with purpose, conviction, and impact.
300The 2027 theme
Judges 7
The 300
This year we're drawing from the story of Gideon and the army of 300. God intentionally reduced Gideon's army so the victory would clearly belong to Him. What began with thousands became 300 men, fully surrendered, courageous, and ready to stand when others walked away.
HAMMER Night is calling men to be part of The 300: men who refuse to blend in, men who stay alert, men who are willing to stand for God when the crowd steps back.
God isn't looking for the largest crowd. He's looking for faithful men who are ready to rise.
Bring your sons, brothers, fathers, friends, and coworkers.
