mission statement

The Langley Leadership Prayer Breakfast serves in a quiet way to provide an opportunity for our government, business, labour, education and professional leaders to meet, reaffirm our faith in God, uphold those in authority in prayer and express appreciation to our community leaders.

It's amazing to think we are already celebrating our 32nd Prayer Breakfast! We are grateful to God for His guidance, provision, and leadership in the lives of those in public office who acknowledge Him as Lord.

We are looking forward to gathering once again at the Langley Events Centre on October 16, 2026.

This is our fifth year at the Langley Events Center. It may take a little longer both to park and to use the one elevator to go up to the banquet centre. Please allow a few more minutes in your schedule.

If you have any questions or need help with ordering online, please email hello [@] langleyprayerbreakfast.com
