Gettysburg
Lead With Character's Gettysburg trip is an introduction to Biblical Manhood with an emphasis on principled leadership. We visit the battlefields of Gettysburg and Sharpsburg (Antietam) and historic Lexington, VA. The trip is meant for all Christian men and boys at least eight years old. Most other Lead with Character events and trips require previous participation on a Gettysburg trip.
What is the trip all about?
History & War
We will walk through the battles of Sharpsburg (Antietam) and Gettysburg in detail on the fields. We will also talk about:
- The causes of the American Civil War
- A timeline of the war's events
- The role of theology
Life & Faith
We rarely see the substance of a man's faith so clearly as in the crucible of war.
We will study the life, faith and key decisions of Robert E. Lee, Oliver O. Howard, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Strong Vincent, and Jeb Stuart.
Biblical Manhood & Leadership
We will learn about who God calls us to be as men by hearing what the Bible has to say.
Character lessons and training in the foundation principles of leadership will help us become what God calls us to be.

Steve's integration of battlefield tactics, ethics and Christian leadership under fire was readily applied to everyday life at home and the workplace. His knowledge of Jackson and Lee allows him to weave their defining thoughts, speech and battles together in a riveting way that made me feel as if I had witnessed the actual events. I left our three days together trying to figure out how I could expose this experience to friends at home. I have been a part of many corporate leadership training courses for 20 times the price that had 1/20th of the value.

Does Lead With Character profit from the trips?
We do not make money putting on the trips or clear any profit from ticket sales. In fact, donors subsidize each ticket to keep costs down.
We know the ticket prices are still significant. What you gain from the trip will be worth the cost many times over.
Are there scholarships available?
Tickets are already subsidized, but in special cases where cost is the only prohibiting factor, there may be scholarship funds available to reduce the cost a bit more.
