From Hawaii to the Caribbean
Why volunteer at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Churchwide Assembly?
Meet ELCA leaders from Hawaii, across the USA, and into the Caribbean.
Participate in the every-three-years decision-making process that shapes the future of our denomination.
Support the election of a new churchwide bishop and secretary.
Live out your belief in the radical hospitality of Christ.
Connect with nearly 100 others from our Grand Canyon Synod who will be volunteering.
And maybe even reconnect with folks from the synod you once called home before moving to Tucson!
2025 Churchwide Assembly meets July 28–August 2 at the Phoenix Convention Center. Volunteer shifts are available before, during, and after the event. You can serve for just a few hours or sign up for multiple roles throughout the week. Many hands make light work—please consider joining this ministry of hospitality.
A complete list of open shifts and the volunteer sign-up form are available at www.gcsynod.org/cwa. Volunteer Training videos are also on that site. Feel free to contact Leslie Johnson if you have any questions not answered on the website.
This is a rare chance for our synod to welcome the wider church with warmth and care. Your hospitality reflects God’s love and helps the church discern with clarity.
