The Great Multitude – Annual Gathering 2024
The 2024 Annual Gathering of the Conference will be held on July 30 – August 2, 2024, at the Crowne Plaza Warwick Airport hotel in Providence, Rhode Island. We are excited to return to this hotel which has served as a wonderful venue for past annual gatherings. We anticipate a great time of encouragement and fellowship as we gather for the 76th annual gathering.
The theme for the 2024 Annual gathering will be “The Great Multitude”, with the theme verses coming from Revelation 7:9-10.
9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
We are privileged to have Rev. Dr. Matthew John, Senior Pastor at Lake Ave. Church in Pasadena, California, as a primary speaker.
The theme is centered on our value of “A Membership Reflective of the Harvest Field’s Diversity”. It is our desire impact our current generation with the message of the Gospel. We are confident that this will lead to a more diverse membership, with churches and pastors who are younger and represent new ethnic groups coming to our country. The theme scripture reminds us that our focus as a Christ-centered Congregational Conference remains the same, even as our membership becomes more diverse.
