The 2009 North American Convention will be like none other. This year we will celebrate in a spectacular way the one hundred years of the Church of God’s sending missionaries out to reach the world for Christ. Together, we will remember and honor the work of the Church of God around the globe. You won’t want to miss it.

But it is not history alone that we will celebrate at the North American Convention. This year’s convention will also serve as the launch for a new era of intercultural ministry (missions). New strategies and visions will be unveiled at the convention. This is a moment in time when pastors, leaders and congregations can see the vision and talk with those from around the globe about our collective ministry through missions.

Plus, for the first time ever, all our missionaries will return home to participate in the convention and celebration. To further enrich and represent the global presence of the Church of God, national leaders of the Church of God from countries across the world will also join us for the convention in Anderson, Indiana, June 26 to July 1, 2009.

Imagine the times of sharing, worship, learning, and fellowship as we collectively remember the one hundred years of the church’s sending out missionaries into the world. During each evening worship service, we will highlight a particular region of the world where the Church of God has a presence. Missionaries and international guest speakers will give a unique view of ministry around the world in the twenty-first century. Plan also to attend the many conferences and times of sharing through storytelling as our missionaries seek to help us understand this new day of world ministry.

Come worship our Lord together. Come fellowship with brothers and sisters from across the country and around the world. Come grow in the Spirit. Come live out the love of Christ. Come, be a part of the global experience. Registration for the 2009 NAC begins October 17th. To register online, click here.
