37th Annual Kelso-Longview Leadership Prayer Summit

Dear Leader, please make your plans to join other Christian leaders from our community for our 37th Annual Kelso-Longview Leadership Prayer Summit May 19th-22nd at Cannon Beach Christian Conference Center. Our annual summit reflects the Lord’s call for all area leaders in the Body of Christ to be encouraged to attend. For leaders who cannot take the entire time off, please focus on the Tuesday lunch through Wednesday lunch partial-stay option. We understand the time constraints you may be under.

God is moving in our midst! While the challenges of life and ministry in our community can be daunting, many leaders are praying in anticipation of a powerful move of God. Our call at Cannon Beach is to come together before the throne of grace in expectation of what the Lord will do! We expect times of personal refreshment and ministry to one another and trust God to reveal His purposes for us in the coming year.

We know your schedule is full! (isn’t it always!?!) But... let’s hear the Lord’s call to come away, together with Him, away from the daily pressures of ministry and draw together in His presence and seek His season of refreshment and vision... together!

We look forward to seeing you at the beach!

Jeff Hoover & Mark Schmutz
Your Servant Leadership Team

You are invited... to join area ministry leaders to meet with God through this, our 37th Annual Kelso-Longview Leadership Prayer Summit. We open the invitation to all those who are serving in leadership in our community. Spouses are also welcome to join us!

A Prayer Summit is a prolonged, four-day, life-changing worship experience attended by a diversity of Christian leaders from specific geographic communities whose single purpose is to seek God, His Kingdom, and His righteousness with the expectation that He will create and guide them through a humbling, healing, uniting process which will lead them to a unity of heart, mind, and mission and will qualify them for the blessings of God!

Participants are ministry leaders from the Kelso-Longview area. This includes both men, women, and couples. Key church leaders are encouraged to participate—please invite them! We’re staying right on the beach at the beautiful Pacific View Lodge!!!

Our ultimate goal is community impact. The Prayer Summit is the place where we come together to seek the Lord. In His presence we experience His holiness; this leads us to humility, which draws us powerfully together in unity; from the place of that unity, we can more effectively lead toward community- congregations and ministries connected in Christ, who together are mobilized by the hand of God to make community impact in our region for the King of Kings!

Experience a new view…together!

LOCATION: The Summit begins at 8:30am sharp on Monday, May 19- we will stop for coffee on the way! The travel time is part of the 4-day experience concluding Thursday afternoon; we return to Longview around 2pm. We meet in the Pacific View Lodge at the Cannon Beach Christian Conference Center in Cannon Beach, Oregon.
