SYNOD ASSEMBLY 2026

SYNOD ASSEMBLY 2026

To strive for Justice
And Peace in all the Earth

June 4-6, 2026

Oshkosh Marriott Waterfront Hotel & Convention Center

Our upcoming Synod Assembly will be a particularly meaningful and historic gathering as it includes the election of a bishop through the ecclesiastical ballot process.

This Spirit-led process invites prayerful discernment and faithful participation from all voting members as together we listen for God’s guidance in calling our bishop for the next six years. In addition to this important election, the assembly will feature worship, learning, and time for connection and celebration—an opportunity to experience the life of our church in action. Join us as we gather in community, guided by faith and open to the movement of the Holy Spirit.
