Q3 2026 Gathering

You've built real expertise. The harder question is what it's for.

Spend an evening at Top Golf Ontario with marketplace leaders working through that same question — over dinner, in honest conversation, alongside ministries whose work your skills could genuinely move forward.

A note on the venue: we're meeting in the conference room at Top Golf, not in the bays. This is a dinner and program evening — no golf, and no need to bring clubs or change your shoes.

Your evening

• 5:00 PM — Arrive and connect. Meet marketplace leaders and professionals from across the Inland Empire.
• 5:45 PM — Dinner and program. A catered dinner, then the evening's speakers.
• 8:15 PM — Wrap-up and next steps.

Who you'll hear from

• Eric Goodman — keynote. Bestselling author of What's Your Mindset?, CEO and CIO, National Philanthropy Day honoree, Orange County Philanthropist of the Year, OC Family Business of the Year, Family Business Magazine Top CEO, and OC Influential 125 & 500.
• Byron Aguirre — Love Life. What a year as our 2026 Ministry of the Year made possible.
• Matthew Hanson — National Rite of Passage. A look at the work happening on the front lines.
• Worship. To be announced.

You choose the 2027 Ministry of the Year

Three ministries are on the ballot, and the people in the room decide:

• Engage 2 Go — Colleen Myers
• Likewise Worship — Justin Unger
• Young Life — Lee Ann Gridley

Ballots are cast in person only — there is no online or proxy voting. Votes are counted that night, and the recipient is announced at our Q4 gathering, where they receive a $1,000 grant and ongoing support from the Barnabas Partners.

Questions, answered

How much does it cost? Nothing. Our quarterly gatherings are free to attend, and dinner is included.

Can I bring someone? Yes — up to three guests per registration, for a party of four. Add them when you register and each one gets their own ticket.

Will we be golfing? No. Despite the venue, this is a dinner and program evening held in Top Golf's conference room. Leave the clubs at home.

What should I wear? Business casual.

Where is it? Top Golf Ontario, 1050 N. Archibald Avenue, Ontario, CA 91764. We're in the conference room, not the bays. Driving directions from both the 10 and the 15 freeways come with your ticket.

Do I need to know anyone? No. Most people walk in not knowing the room — the first forty-five minutes exist for exactly that.

How long is the evening? Three hours and fifteen minutes, 5:00 PM to 8:15 PM. Come for what you can.
