Large Church Pastor Gathering
The Large Church Pastor Gathering is an invite-only, peer learning opportunity. Topics and questions submitted by participating pastors shape the agenda.
Join us February 22-24, 2027 in Indian Wells, California, for this year's gathering.
What is the Large Church Pastor Gathering?
The Large Church Pastor Gathering is open to senior pastors in EFCA churches with a regular weekend attendance of 1,000 people, including children.
With the growth of those eligible and interested in this event, we are asking only senior pastors to attend. Many choose to bring their wife—and Monday's dinner is for both pastors and wives—however, the rest of the programming is focused on pastors only. This year, there will be a wives' luncheon on Tuesday.
Schedule
We will gather from 12 p.m. on Monday to 12 p.m. on Wednesday. On Monday, we will host a dinner for all attendees and spouses. On Tuesday, Carol Harris will host a wives' luncheon. On Wednesday, after the meeting concludes, we will offer optional spa and golf opportunities.
Remember: this is your gathering. As a participating pastor, you will determine the content for your meetings and set the agenda based on your needs.
Cost
There is no cost for the event. Attendees are responsible for their travel, lodging and Tuesday dinner. Monday and Tuesday lunches, as well as Monday dinner, will be provided.
