In 2009, Churchwide Assembly passed a resolution stating that it is the goal of this church that at least 10% of the voting members of committees, boards and assemblies be youth and young adults. In 2011, about 13% of voting members at CWA were in this age group. How's your congregation doing? How's this synod doing?

As we move into the season of annual meetings and electing voting members for conference and synod assemblies, please consider encouraging youth and young adults to participate in these wider-church venues. Childcare is provided at Synod Assembly for those with young children. CONVO and Y'ALL offer a deep, faith formative experience within the Synod Assembly framework.
