RETURN CONFERENCE 2026
BACK TO THE GARDEN
DECEMBER 17-19
Return Conference exists to call people back to the place where it all began—not merely to a location, but to a lifestyle of walking with God. Before there was ministry, there was communion. Before there was purpose, there was presence. Our prayer is that every detail of this weekend would remove distractions and create space for people to encounter the Lord, behold His beauty, and return to the place of intimacy for which they were created.
More than hosting a conference, we want to invite people into a way of life. Return is meant to connect people to the heart of the prayer room—a life centered on God's presence, rooted in worship and prayer, and sustained by daily communion with Him. We don't want this to be a mountaintop experience that ends on Saturday night; we want it to be the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of Jesus.
