Each year, pastors, mayors, and business leaders from across the Central Valley set down their titles for one morning to pray together — for our city, our leaders, and our land.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin and will heal their land."2 Chronicles 7:14
For one morning a year, leadership steps back from agendas. Pastors sit beside mayors, business owners beside volunteers — all there for the same reason: to ask for wisdom over the city they share.
The tradition is older than the city's own breakfast — and has grown the same way every meaningful gathering does: one invitation at a time.
The White House hosts the very first prayer breakfast in Washington, D.C. — the model this gathering still follows.
February 4th — roughly 250 men gather for the first Greater Lodi Leadership Prayer Breakfast.
The gathering opens to women, more fully reflecting the leaders it was always meant to reach.
What began with 250 men in a single room has become a tradition carried by leaders across the Central Valley — and cities far beyond it.
What started in one city now happens in dozens. Search below, or browse by region.
