The Grand Canyon Synod is honored to host the 2025 ELCA Churchwide Assembly, taking place July 28–August 2, 2025, at the Phoenix Convention Center. This event, held every three years, is the primary decision-making gathering of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, where representatives from across the church meet for worship, communal discernment, and essential decision-making.
As the host synod, we have a unique opportunity to extend our hospitality and support this important work on behalf of the entire church. To make this possible, GCS is calling on up to 100 volunteers to join them between July 26 and August 2, 2025. Volunteers will play a vital role in helping the event run smoothly and welcoming our ELCA family to Phoenix.
