From the Annual Conference office
All Church of the Brethren members are encouraged to register and participate in the online Annual Conference. Dates are June 30-July 4. Registration and detailed information about the Conference schedule and events are at www.brethren.org/ac2021.
If you’ve ever thought about attending Annual Conference, but didn’t want to incur the expense of traveling, this is your year to participate online! Worship is free to all, but to participate in business sessions, insight sessions (43 workshops), networking groups (44 different interest areas), and the two concerts, you need to be registered. The cost for nondelegates was reduced, just for this year, from $125 to only $99 for the entire Conference.
Registering now is encouraged so that the Annual Conference office can get information to you (including your password to get online). After June 16, we cannot guarantee that you will receive a Conference book if you order a printed version.
Registering is especially important for pastors who can receive continuing education credit for participating in insight sessions (both live and recorded).
Standing Committee
The Standing Committee of the district delegates to Annual Conference will meet via Zoom webinar this year. The opening session on Sunday evening, June 27, will be closed to allow for personal sharing among the district delegates. The Standing Committee sessions on Monday through Wednesday, June 28-30, will be open for those who request the link. To receive the link, please email annualconference@brethren.org.
