73rd General Assembly

The 73rd International General Assembly of the Church of God is scheduled at the end of this month and preparations are well underway.

The Assembly officially begins on Tuesday morning, July 27, rather than Monday evening; however, registration and the exhibit areas will open beginning at 9:00 a.m. Monday, July 26. Church of God World Missions will host a Missions banquet, by invitation only, Monday night. In addition, the first day of sessions (July 27) with the General Council will include an evening session to allow the body of ordained bishops time to elect and nominate leaders. It will also provide opportunity for discussion and debate of the slated agenda of business.

Wednesday evening, July 28, will be the first worship session and special guest will be Rev. Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse international ministries. Rev. Tim Hill is the featured speaker for the Missions service on Thursday evening. The general overseer, who will be nominated earlier in the week but elected on Friday afternoon, will deliver his address as the final message to conclude the General Assembly.

All sessions of the Ordained Ministers General Council and evening services will be streamed on the Church of God website. There will be daily news and updates posted to the World Missions website.
