Join us in San Marcos, Texas on August 15!
The 2026 Power 2 Prosper Summit is a one-day leadership experience designed to equip pastors, clergy, faith-based nonprofit leaders, ministry teams, entrepreneurs, and community partners with practical strategies to strengthen their organizations and transform their communities. Inspired by Nehemiah 2:17–18, this year's theme, "Let Us Rise Up and Rebuild!", calls today's faith leaders to restore hope, strengthen families, build sustainable organizations, and create lasting community impact through faith, collaboration, and servant leadership.
The Summit also celebrates the inaugural graduating cohort of the Power 2 Prosper Faith-Based Community Leadership Institute (P2P-FBCLI), a six-month leadership initiative that has equipped leaders throughout Central Texas to address their communities' greatest challenges through faith-based innovation and action.
Whether you lead a church, nonprofit, business, ministry, or community organization, you will leave inspired, connected, and equipped with practical tools to expand your impact.
