CHICAGO, IL (October 12, 2018) – Gather 2019, the ECC Annual Meeting, will be held June 27-29 at the Hilton Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska, it was announced today.

The Annual Meeting is the highest legislative session in the ECC. The 2019 meeting will include elections for executive ministers of Serve Globally, Make and Deepen Disciples, and Love Mercy Do Justice.

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.

Room rates will be $149 per night.
