About this Event
Experience A Desert Oasis!
Global General Conference 2025 is a continuation of experimenting to create a truly global General Conference. We continue to open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities. We are experiencing this and learning together. Sometimes it may require moving out of our comfort zones, being willing to engage in new ways, and being open enough to see how this global General Conference allows others to be part of the experience, often for the very first time.
General Conference will take place in two phases:
Part 1: Business Discussion Circles, Forum and Meeting
Starting in January 2025, there will be many Discussion Circles, webinars, documents and emails to inform you of the business of General Conference. There will be many opportunities for you to provide input.
At a meeting in June 2024 between the Governing Board and Governance Committee, the Governing Board voted to hold both the General Conference Business Meeting and Business Forum online. The Business Forum will be held on 31st May 2025 and the Business Meeting will be held 7th June 2025. Watch for more information about the content of these sessions.
Part 2: Transformational Gathering – 3 – 6 July 2025
The 2025 conference will definitely have a retreat feel lasting 3 days instead of our typical 5 or 6-day conference that commingled business with worship and learning. In addition, there will be pre and post-conference activities to enrich and extend your experience. As mentioned above, all business will take place online and not during the Transformational Weekend. This creates a perfect opportunity for many different members of your congregation to retreat in the desert. Elements of this conference will be live streamed, recorded, and online allowing a hybrid experience for those unable to travel. Our conference app will bridge the online and onsite participants and increase involvement, engagement, and communication between everyone.
All are welcome to attend the Global General Conference. You do not need to be a member of an MCC Church. In addition to clergy and lay delegates, all ministry leaders, staff, board members, musicians, regular congregants, visitors and friends are encouraged to register and participate.
