Conference Session is a global spiritual gathering and a constitutionally required business meeting that has been held every four years. Its purpose is to vote on conference leadership, set the direction of the Conference for the next four years, and vote on changes to the Constitution & Bylaws, and import Conference matters.
A nominating committee is formed to nominate Conference officers, departmental directors, and associate directors. The president is elected first and joins the Nominating Committee to offer recommendations on all the other nominations, which the committee may choose to accept or reject.
Delegates are elected representatives from the church's worldwide regions. The number of delegates each region sends is based on its membership size, ensuring fair representation across the global church.
Local churches recommend individuals to the conferences, which then submit a balanced group of names—including both employees and laypeople—to the Conference Executive Secretary for final approval.
Although only delegates will be present in person at the Constituency Session, the decisions made will shape the mission, ministry, and future direction of the entire Conference family. Every member is encouraged to stay engaged through prayer and by following the updates that will be shared, as the outcomes of the Session impact us all.
