Pre-Convention Hearings

Hearings are an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the budget and resolutions that will be brought to the convention floor. (The proposed budget & resolutions will be available on the Delegate Materials page prior to the hearings.) These hearings not only provide valuable time for discussion, but they also help us keep on-floor discussion time during convention to a manageable amount, as many questions can be answered ahead of time during these hearings. All delegates are expected to attend one of the dates listed, and everyone is welcome.

Delegates and visitors: you’ll be asked about your attendance and will receive the Zoom link as part of your Convention registration.

Attend a hearing but not Convention: If you are not registering for Convention but would like to attend a hearing, fill out this form. If you are registered for Convention, you do not need to complete this form.

Pre-Convention Day: Friday October 23

Time: 6:30pm Welcome & Workshops: until approximately 8:45pm

Following Jesus: Discerning Your Next Faithful Step

Pre-Convention Workshop

Presented by: Heidi Kim

Workshop Description:

I often encounter people of faith who feel called to engage in ministries for justice and healing, but do not know where to start. It can be intimidating to start something new, especially when it feels like the stakes are so high. This workshop provides a framework for reflecting on your personal journey of discipleship to discern where God is calling you to take a next step. You will need a cell phone, a tablet, or a laptop for the interactive portions of this session. No other materials or prior learning are required.

Delegates & Visitors: You’ll be asked to select a workshop on your registration form.

Guests: This event is free to attend. A suggested $10 donation at the door is appreciated.
