The Return Gathering

If you’re longing to see more of God’s presence in your church and community, come and experience what God is doing at The Return Gathering at Saddleback Church, February 18–20. This sacred assembly is a time to set aside distractions, seek His face together, and believe for Him to move in powerful ways.

We’re creating a special space just for pastors and church leaders to pray, worship, and encourage each other. We’ll share what we've learned, give a peek behind the scenes, and help you envision how this could come alive in your own church and city.

Leader sessions will give you practical ways to carry it home. But the heart of this invitation is simple: Come be with us. Come be in His presence. Come receive fresh vision.
