Delegates to General Synod

Every two years, about 700 elected delegates from the Conferences and Covenanted Ministries of the United Church of Christ and several thousand visitors come from all over the United States and from other parts of the world to gather together for worship, learning and renewal, and to conduct the business of the denomination.  This business includes a variety of matters, from approval of national budgets for domestic and worldwide ministries to consideration of resolutions on important social and ethical issues of our time.  The next General Synod 32 will be held in Milwaukee WI in 2019.
