Welcome & Invitation
PATRONS GATHERING AT LAGUNA BEACH
FEBRUARY 6-9, 2025
Patrons Gathering
Please accept this invitation to join us for the 2025 Patrons Gathering at The Montage at Laguna Beach.
Join Gabe and Rebekah Lyons for a few days of connection, purpose and vision at one of the most elegant resorts in the country.
At the Patrons Gathering, we will form meaningful relationships while being filled with clarity and courage as we explore urgent opportunities to advance truth in need of our support.
Space is limited, we hope you will join us.
The Location
Join us as we gather at The Montage Laguna Beach, an iconic resort perched on a coastal bluff above the Pacific. With sweeping views of the ocean, The Montage Laguna Beach welcomes guests into the heart of Southern California’s preeminent artist colony
The Experience
As our guests, you will enjoy our first two days together connecting with 160 influential and strategically positioned cultural leaders who participate in our annual Leaders Gathering. Then, with forty select couples, we will set aside our third day and night at The Montage for a deeper conversation about our strategic vision for the way forward to advance the Gospel in our culture and to the next generation.
During the scheduled free time, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy your choice of activities – hiking, shopping, stand up paddle boarding, or golfing. Or you can take it slow and meander the beach or rejuvenate in the spa. As our guests, all your meals and accommodations are covered.
