Are you attending Friday and Saturday?
Determine if you and your local church leaders will be arriving in time to attend both Friday evening and all day Saturday.
- Friday is optional for everyone. We will have a brief worship time, social interaction and fellowship on Friday evening for those whose travel makes it better to arrive the night before.
- All Ordained Ministers and Ministerial Candidates are expected to attend on Saturday. If you are not able to attend, please contact the Bishop’s Office.
- We encourage all ministry leaders in your church to participate. Whether you’re a pastor, leader, delegate or active participant in your local church, these gatherings are for you. They are designed to inspire, equip, and encourage as we navigate the road ahead together.
- Book your own accommodations.
