Business Session

Our annual general meeting is a vital gathering in the life of our church—a time when we come together as a community of faith to discern, discuss and make decisions that shape our shared ministry. 

Delegates from congregations across our region play a crucial role in this work. Through prayerful conversation, reports, presentations and voting on key matters, delegates help chart the direction of our life together—ensuring that the voice of the wider church is heard and honored.

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 2:19-22
