The ACGC Triennial Convention scheduled for April 21-23, 2021 will be held as a fully virtual event. The Executive Council made this decision last week after consultation with various conference and regional leaders. The convention was originally scheduled to take place in August 2020, but was rescheduled for April 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising infection rates, increasing governmental restrictions on travel and mass gatherings and the apprehension many of our church members and leaders have about traveling have made it difficult to plan for an in-person event. Therefore, the Executive Council has decided it is best to move forward with an online event.

In order to allow maximum participation from around the country, all Triennial events such as reports, business meetings and services will take place in the evening. An official notice and delegate registration form will go in the mail soon, and online delegate registration will be available by the end of February. When finalized, the full schedule will be made available at the website, acgc.us/triennial, along with proposed business items and bios for those whose names will appear on the ballot for various positions.

The WHFMS national convention will also take place fully online. That event will occur in the afternoon of Saturday, April 24. Details will be made available as soon as they are finalized.
