What to expect at the Breakfast
Faith, Food and Fellowship
The night before Jesus went to the Cross, He shared a meal with His disciples. After He rose from the grave, He made them breakfast on at least one occasion (John 21:12.) The Book of Acts records that the Early Church devoted themselves "to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” There’s no absolute command in the Bible to host a city-wide Prayer Breakfast, but it certainly seems to follow that the Christian leaders of a city should meet together periodically to pray and fellowship together.
That’s what the TPB aims to accomplish. While we are together, we take the opportunity to bless and thank those who serve us in the community. Prayers are offered for those working in the marketplace, in schools, in government, and those who serve the community as first responders.
Our full 2026 program is still being finalized. Our programming lineup for this year’s Breakfast includes:
Keynote Speaker

Paul is a lover and follower of Jesus and is the Chief Executive Officer for Skip (formerly known as Skip The Dishes). Paul has held various leadership roles in the technology, media and entertainment space, most recently as the Managing Director of Twitter in Canada.
