CHICAGO, IL (March 1, 2018) – Early registration opens today for Gather 2018, the Covenant’s Annual Meeting, which will be held June 21-23 in Minneapolis at the Marriott City Center. Early registration runs through April 20.

The Annual Meeting is the highest legislative session in the ECC. This year’s meeting will include votes for presidents of the ECC and North Park University, the executive minister of Develop Leaders, as well as the introductions of new superintendents for the Southeast and Canada conferences.

Although Gather encompasses the Annual Meeting, it is much more than business sessions. It is a time to worship together, to celebrate what God is doing through the Covenant around the world, and to encourage one another toward greater discipleship.

Registration for the hotel is separate from the event. You can book a room at the special rate of $149 per night through here or by calling the hotel at (612) 349-4000 and asking for the Evangelical Covenant Church rate. Attendees are encouraged to register as soon as possible because there is a limited number of rooms available at the special rate.
