We are offering a Virtual option for non-delegates only who are NOT planning to travel to Grand Rapids for Annual Conference but would like to participate in more than just worship (which will continue to be livestreamed for all free of charge). We are trying to make it possible for virtual participants to interact more fully in hybrid activities this year. We are also offering a virtual registration option for groups wishing to participate in Annual Conference together.
