Are you interested in going deeper in your involvement in the United Church?
The United Church of Canada’s General Council is a denomination-wide gathering which meets every three years to elect a new Moderator and to approve new church policies. In addition to 358 delegates called commissioners, approximately 250 guests, observers, youth, children, staff, and volunteers will be present for the week-long gathering. Commissioners are selected by the church’s 13 regional Conferences and represent an equal number of lay people and ministry personnel.
There are two ways for youth to participate in General Council—you can be elected by your Conference to serve as a Commissioner at General Council, or chosen by your presbytery to participate in Youth Forum. Click here for more info and registration forms.
The 41st General Council of The United Church of Canada will take place at Carleton University, in Ottawa, Ontario from August 11 to 18, 2012.
