About Harbor: The Pepperdine Bible Lectures
Harbor 2025: Your Kingdom Come
May 6 - 9 | Malibu, CA
“Your kingdom come” is more than an utterance in the Lord’s Prayer. The teachings and ministry of Jesus consistently proclaimed that the realm of God’s Kingdom is here and now.
The in-breaking of the Kingdom may appear to be small, but eventually will fill the earth. Participating in this Kingdom gives us new ways to see, new ways to hear, and new values that guide our every action and relationship. This Kingdom is the good news that both rescues the lost and dissolves our fears.
Join us for Harbor 2025 as we deeply consider, through the teachings and parables
of Jesus, how to seek first the Kingdom.
- Registration is now open!
- Early-bird discount through February 16
- Harbor is designed for groups, families, and individuals
- Affordable on-campus housing available
Why Attend Harbor?
In an age where digital life can dominate the church and leave Christians feeling
disconnected, in-person gatherings bring a special opportunity for spiritual renewal
and refreshing relationships. Harbor has a rich history as a lectureship event for
Churches of Christ and the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement. If you have not attended
in several years, we hope you will come back and find this to be a place of hope and
vision for the church. If this is your first time to consider Harbor, please reach
out if you have any questions. We hope to see you in Malibu!
Presenters at Harbor include not just preachers, but also authors, historians, organizational consultants, clinical counselors, scholars and creatives. Everyone can find a class, panel discussion, or time of guided reflection to meet their personal interests.
More about sessions
Housing on campus is affordable in furnished apartments or dorm suites. We hope you’ll join the tradition of staying with us and eating on campus. Some might say that Harbor is “church camp for adults!” Children are welcome to stay in housing with your family.
