JOIN US APRIL 17TH, 2026
Gather with your Foundation Church family and believers around the world for a focused night of deep Bible study and urgent prayer—shaped by the faith of persecuted Christians. Be challenged by God’s Word, stirred by global need, and reminded that following Jesus is worth everything. Come ready to listen, pray and participate in making Jesus known everywhere—together.
ABOUT SECRET CHURCH
Years ago, David Platt taught and ministered to believers in underground house churches in Asia—brothers and sisters who gathered in secret, fully aware that discovery could cost them their freedom, their families, or their lives. Their faith was not shaped by comfort or convenience, but by a deep devotion to God and His Word.
Secret Church was born from these encounters. Each spring, David and believers around the world set aside one evening for this unique, one-night event that is streamed to tens of thousands of participants around the world. Encouraged by our persecuted brothers’ and sisters’ example, we meet for 6 hours for intense study of God’s Word and passionate prayer for the persecuted.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The theme for 2026 is an immersive dive into the life of Elijah—the prophet who stood alone before kings, called down fire from heaven, battled despair in silence, and was taken up in chariots of flame. Told in four cinematic chapters, this narrative-driven teaching will carry each person through the highs and lows of Elijah’s life, calling today’s church to courageous, resilient faith in hard places.
This experience is not just about studying Scripture—it’s about equipping and mobilizing the global church to live boldly for Christ in the hardest-to-reach places. This year, the story of Elijah will be woven together with real stories of Gospel advances in Nepal, bringing ancient Scripture and modern mission into powerful alignment.
(Eat dinner before you come. Foundation Church will provide light snacks, drinks and coffee.)
