Start With Love
This year's theme is Start with Love and we're bringing in the best! Dr. Gary Chapman will teach us how to speak love powerfully into the hearts of our children. That's what they need more today than YouTube, video games, or social media likes.
Add Some Righteous Anger
TikTok is dragging our kids into self-harm, schools are teaching sexuality instead of math, and the culture is calling what is wrong right. It's time for parents to rise up to protect their kids and instill godly virtues.
Develop a Clear Family Roadmap Forward
Where do you want your family to be in 10 years? What about next year? In a unique session, you'll think through what is essential for your family and write small, doable, repeatable goals (don't worry, we'll help you!).
Come to the Altar
We will worship and sing with gifted musicians and worship leaders Beatriz and Jorge Pastrana. The altar will be open for us to come together to seek the Lord, to fight for the spiritual destiny of our sons and daughters, and the generations who will follow.

Bonita Valley Community Church | Saturday March 2
If you're looking for a meaningful vacation getaway, spend Saturday at the conference and take an extra day to enjoy walking along the beach, visiting the World Famous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Legoland, Balboa Park, shopping, or dining. By the way, the average temperature in March is 67 degrees...
A letter from the organizer Arlene Pellicane...
Something that really helped me in my professional life was attending a yearly mastermind conference with my husband. Every year for more than 15 years, we heard speakers, got filled up, and back on track with aspirations and action steps for the year.
I have dreamt about creating a similar experience specifically for parents. Last year, I felt God nudge me...Call parents to worship and put their eyes on Me, not the world around them. Encourage them. Equip them to serve their families. Tell them to rise.
So here we are! I'm going to do my best to give you an experience that will touch your heart and mind, to make you feel alive and on fire as a mom or dad. I know that the same God who called me to take a step of faith to plan this day will meet us there in a big way.
The family is under attack. Let's gather the churches in San Diego and parents from across the country. We'll stand together in unity and prayer to fight for YOUR family.
Invite your friends and parents to join you (grandparents welcome). A few years ago, I wrote a book titled Parents Rising. This is not a time for silence while our kids walk away from faith and embrace the values of the glowing rectangle (aka phone). It's our time to rise.
I've got a spot saved just for you.
