35th Biennial General Synod of the UCC
July 11-15, 2025
Kansas City, Missouri & Live Stream
General Synod
General Synod is the national gathering of the United Church of Christ, where delegates from across the country, representing every UCC conference come together to meet, pray, worship, study, discuss, and vote on matters that effect our denomination.
Every two years, General Synod brings together faithful members of the United Church of Christ for inspirational worship, fellowship with friends (old and new), and public witness including through engagement with the business of the church.
In July 2025, we are excited to welcome thousands from across the country for General Synod 35 in Kansas City, Missouri – the barbecue capitol. Together, we will discern resolutions of witness, church structure, and function. We will celebrate our faith. And we will join in spirit-filled worship each day.
The Rev. Jennifer Butler
