General Synod

Every two years, General Synod brings together faithful members of the United Church of Christ for inspirational worship, fellowship with friends (old and new), and public witness including through engagement with the business of the church.

In July 2025, we are excited to welcome thousands from across the country for General Synod 35 in Kansas City, Missouri – the barbecue capitol. Together, we will discern resolutions of witness, church structure, and function. We will celebrate our faith. And we will join in spirit-filled worship each day.

Please bookmark this website and check back frequently for updates around registration, keynote speakers, workshops, resolutions, travel, lodging accommodations, and much more.
