Kickoff Celebration

Join Gathering hosts Matthew and Claire for our Kickoff Celebration, which will go live on July 25 via Gathering social media. We’ll hear from our host city and our partners from across the country, dive into our theme, learn what’s new for the 2022 Gathering, and more. The video will be available for congregational groups to view as they start their Gathering planning. Stay tuned to Gathering communications for more information.


As you start preparing for the Gathering, be sure to connect with your Gathering Synod Coordinator!
