Capital Area Regional Assembly

October 14, 2022 @ 3:00 pm – October 15, 2022 @ 4:00 pm EDT

Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez will be attending the Christian Church Capital Area‘s regional assembly. Find more information below.

The theme for the 2022 Regional Assembly is “Justice, Mercy, Humility: What Is Required of Disciples Today?” based upon the scripture passage Micah 6:8

Keynote Speakers for the event are Rev. Dr. Bernard Richardson (Dean of the Chapel, Howard University) and Rev. Steve Doan (Retired Disciples Chaplain)

Reverend Dr. Bernard L. Richardson

As the fourth Dean of the historic Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, the Reverend Dr. Bernard L. Richardson is the executive officer for religious affairs at Howard University. Dr. Richardson is perhaps most widely recognized by the University community and leaders across the nation for his prolific prayers and insightful spiritual guidance.

Rev. Steve Doan & Rev. Donna Doan

Born and raised in Indiana, Steve Doan graduated from Yale University in 1967, attended Indiana University, where he met his wife Donna. Before completing his doctoral studies in English, he was drafted into the Army and became an artillery officer. Feeling a call to ministry, Steve graduated from Lexington Theological Seminary and served two Disciples of Christ churches before returning to the Army in 1985 as a chaplain. From 2005 to 2017, Steve worked as part-time deployed staff for Disciples Home Missions as the Denominational Chaplain Endorsing Officer.

Pacific Southwest Regional Assembly

October 14, 2022 @ 11:00 am – October 15, 2022 @ 6:00 pm EDT

Rev. Dr. Joi Robinson, Associate Minister of New Church Strategies, will be attending the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Pacific Southwest Region’s assembly. Learn more about it below.

"Arise! Shine! For your light has come; and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." - Isaiah 3:1 (CEB)
"And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord." - Acts 22:16 (King James Version)

We invite you to participate in the two-day event either in person or online through our streaming video. Registration will be available in the early fall.

Amid difficult times, our sight can become obscured by uncertainty, growing challenges, injustices, and oppressions. How do we forge ahead, beyond the gloom, and discover a new way forward? We need a light. More than ever, the world needs our light, and that great light has come in Christ, which, leads us to love, mercy, compassion, change, and reconciliation. Let us no longer wait. We are being called to Arise Anew. Together, we need to arise and shine from the depths of the former things that have weighted our path. Let us remember, reclaim, and celebrate our baptism, which has empowered us anew for the way ahead.

DELEGATE VOTING: Business sessions will take place in person at the Disciples Ministry Center in Fullerton. All voting delegates must be present to participate in the voting process.

PRE-ASSEMBLY INFORMATION SESSIONS are offered to voting church delegates, clergy, and others attending the Regional Assembly to hear the origins and significance of the resolutions that will be considered during the business session of the event. Learn more here.

This year’s Regional Assembly will be filled with worship, fun and games, a short business session, food, and wonderful fellowship with friends and colleagues from around the Christian Church in Ohio and beyond.


Adults, youth, and children are invited to attend. The Assembly is designed for all ages, and there will also be child care for children ages 4 to 12.

Registration, Music and Fellowship start at 10am with the program beginning at 11am
