If you’re longing to see more of God’s presence in your church and community, join us for The Return Gathering at Saddleback Church, February 18–20. This gathering is designed for pastors and senior leaders who want to strengthen community and cultivate a deeper culture of prayer and revival.
We’re setting aside intentional space for you to pray, worship, and encourage one another. You’ll hear what God has been doing, learn from behind-the-scenes insights, and discover practical ways to bring this movement back to your own church and city.
More than a conference, this is a sacred moment to seek God together, purify our hearts, and commit the future to Him. We’re asking the Holy Spirit to pour out His love in fresh ways so we can carry the fire of what He is doing into the places we lead.
Come be with us. Come be in His presence. Come receive renewed vision for the road ahead.
