Annual Lord Mayor's Prayer Breakfast 2026

The Newcastle Annual Lord Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast was established in 2009 when a group of Christian ministers and leaders met with the then Lord Mayor, John Tate. Since that time, civic, church, charity, business, and educational leaders have gathered each year—connected by their shared love and service for the City of Newcastle, and united around values that strengthen and benefit its people.

“The purpose of these events is to acknowledge God, the power of prayer, and to invite the blessing of God over the city and her people.” — Rick Prosser

We are deeply grateful to the successive Lord Mayors who have hosted the breakfast, to those who have worked diligently behind the scenes to make it possible, to our generous sponsors, and to all who have faithfully gathered year after year.

We truly are better together.
