SUMMARY:2026 General Assembly
DESCRIPTION:The whole church throughout the United States and Canada\, is invited to attend General Assembly 2026. Ephesians 3:14-21 invites the Stone-Campbell tradition of today and tomorrow to be rooted and grounded in the love of God that surpasses knowledge and barriers to build fuller relationships and ministries led by the limitless love of God. The prayer that calls to the church in Ephesus also calls the Christian Church to set a bigger table that surpasses our previous capacity.More than just a series of meetings\, General Assembly is a covenantal table set for education\, discussion\, worship\, business\, fellowship\, and action. Each congregation is invited to boldly claim their covenantal place at the table by inviting everyone to attend online and by prayerfully designating 3 delegates to vote at General Assembly. Meeting every year online will allow more Disciples to connect more frequently and to work together more fully “to be the church we say we are.” If you’ve never attended General Assembly before\, a special welcome is extended to you. \n\n\n\nOne and all\, individuals\, Congregations\, General Ministries\, Regional Ministries\, Ministry partners\, and friends are invited to actively participate in our new way of being church and our church wide resolve to embody and share God’s surpassing love as we gather in July. \n\n\n\nFor these reasons: \n\n\n\n\nTranslation through closed captioning will be available in 5 languages including Spanish\, Korean\, French\, English\, and Chinese\, in the hope of removing language and accessibility barriers.\n\n\n\nYou can participate at a local gathering or on your personal device in the hope of removing the barriers of geography and isolation. The tech team has worked hard to make sure that GA is accessible and to train Regional and Congregational tech leaders to ensure that they didn’t create a new digital divide within the church.\n\n\n\nThe format and schedule include a Topic for Education\, Discussion\, and Prayer and time for dialogue to move beyond brief discussion accessible only to persons that attend GA in-person to include more voices from across the whole church.

SUMMARY:Pacific Southwest Regional Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 10:23-25 (NRSV)23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering\, for he who has promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds\, 25 not neglecting to meet together\, as is the habit of some\, but encouraging one another\, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. \n\n\n\n\nFor the first communities to believe in Jesus\, formed in Jerusalem\, Peter and John’s inspiration of the Spirit was vital. Before a council’s verdict\, they responded\, “…judge; for we cannot keep from speaking about what we have seen and heard.” (Acts 4: 19- 20) Amid our “community of communities\,” we\, like these first communities\, are facing the same challenges and injustices everywhere. Much in the same way\, we are compelled\, and “provoked by one another to love and good deeds.” (Hebrews 10: 23- 25) \n\n\n\nThe Pacific Southwest Region continues to reclaim its mission in acts of mutual support\, even in the face of resisting forces and changing cultures. We live resilient and defiant in hope when we refuse to be moved from our most powerful footing in this world and our communities\, which is love. Join Senior Associate Minister of Coaching for New Church Ministry Rev. Dr. Joi Robinson to celebrate our regional life and share a time of worship\, reflection\, education\, and renewal. \n\n\n\nDOWNLOAD THE PROMOTIONAL FLYER \n\n\n\nPARKING: There are several parking lots and structures located near the Disciples Ministry Center that can be found on this map. \n\n\n\nWATER REFILL STATIONS will be located throughout the venue. We encourage you to bring a refillable water bottle with you to the Regional Assembly. \n\n\n\nLIVE-STREAMED WORSHIP AND BUSINESS SESSION: For those who are unable to join us in person\, worship services and business sessions at the Regional Assembly will be live-streamed on the Disciples PSWR YouTube channel. \n\n\n\nTRANSLATIONS IN SPANISH\, KOREAN AND CHINESE/MANDARIN will be available the day of the event through printed/digital programs and audio interpretation.
