An icon event in Battle Creek returns this month. Battle Creek Community Prayer Breakfast Co-Chairs Ryan and Esther Leonard share why the event has become one of the city’s most enduring gatherings: a room filled with neighbors choosing prayer, unity, and hope at Kellogg Arena. For a lot of people, it marks a turning point in the season, a way to step out of winter and into spring with a better outlook on our community and each other.

We also reveal this year’s keynote speaker: Major League Baseball legend. His talk goes far beyond stats and championships, tracing a path from public success to addiction, loss, recovery, and a faith-centered purpose.

Get tickets, donate, or reserve a table and consider the reception the night before as a way to help send area high school students to the breakfast at no cost.

The Battle Creek Prayer Breakfast is Tuesday, May 5 at 7:25 AM at the Kellogg Arena in downtown Battle Creek. Doors open at 6:50 AM
