What's for Dinner?

Learn more about the evening’s menu, ingredients, and the chef behind it all.

Who's Performing?

Each year, we bring in talented artists to create an unforgettable atmosphere with music that uplifts and inspires. While this year’s performer hasn’t been announced yet, past guests have enjoyed nationally recognized musicians who brought both energy and spiritual encouragement to the stage. Got someone in mind? Let us know who you’d love to hear at the 2026 Gala.

Who's It All For?

Your attendance does more than support a night of elegance — it helps fund critical mission efforts through Calvary Chapel Roatán in Honduras. From supporting local church ministry to funding construction projects and humanitarian aid, every dollar makes a difference. Discover how your participation helps bring lasting change to lives in need.

Dress to Impress

This is a semi-formal event. Think cocktail attire — dresses, dress shirts, slacks, and nice shoes. No tuxedos or gowns required, but leave the jeans and sneakers at home.

Plenty of Parking

Free parking is available across the street at the Winnebago County Courthouse. The church parking lot will not be used for guest parking as it is reserved for the staff and volunteers.

Doors Open at 5:30pm

The evening begins with arrival at 5:30 PM, followed by a plated dinner at 6:00 PM and the main program and concert at 7:30 PM. Please plan to arrive on time so you don’t miss a single course — or a single note.
