The Gathering 2026 Conference Highlights

The Gathering 2026 Annual Conference was held in Carlsbad, CA. The Gathering is a community of givers who seek to grow in our effectiveness as philanthropists, in the leadership of our families, and in the maturity of our Christian faith. We hope to steward wisely all the resources that God has entrusted to our care, from our donations and investments to our families and our influence. We are a sounding board of trusted peers, and we relish inviting thinkers and practitioners to help stretch our imaginations for how we might join God’s work. Here is a video that shares a little more as well. Video credit: Shorman Creative
