Harbor 2026: A More Excellent Way: The Transformative Power of Love
May 5-8 | Malibu, CA
The call to love others in our divided and hostile world has never been more challenging.
The temptation to be proud, self-seeking, and envious is all around us. It often feels
easier to insist on our own way, pass over the truth, and fail to be patient and kind.
We need the hope that I Corinthians 13 gives us. Knowing well Christ鈥檚 teaching that
the root of all of God鈥檚 laws is love, the Apostle Paul prefaces his famous 鈥淟ove
Chapter鈥 with a beautiful declaration: Love is 鈥渁 more excellent way鈥. This more excellent
way, the way of biblical love, is what we will explore at Harbor 2026.
Harbor 2026 is both a family reunion and a spiritual feast, bringing together Christians
from around the globe and featuring more than 100 gifted teachers, authors, and preachers
in a week of singing joyfully, praying fervently, and thinking deeply about divine,
transformative love that defies description.
Come join us on this amazing journey!
