Third Annual Bright Spots Missions Summit

February 7-8, 2023
Orange County, CA

You don’t want to miss the Bright Spots Missions Summit this year! Our time together will be graciously hosted by Jim Palmer and our friends at Orange County Rescue Mission and facilitated by the Masterworks team. Bright Spots Missions Summit is a gathering of national leaders at nonprofits fighting poverty in their communities to discuss the future of marketing and fundraising, what’s working, and what’s not. We are looking forward to a few days filled with fellowship, education, inspiration, and networking designed to enrich and connect mission and ministry staff from around the country.

Programming will include guest speakers, encouragement to ministry leaders, and time for connection and fellowship. We'll have meals together and plenty of opportunities to make new friendships and deepen relationships.

There is no cost for the summit itself, and Masterworks will be providing lunch and dinner throughout the summit. You will be responsible for your travel and lodging expenses.
